Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
1. APIKE_200607_01.JPG: When I saw the vandalism of the monuments near the White House, I thought for sure the Albert Pike statue, being the only Confederate general with a public statue in the city, would have been hit by graffiti. But it hadn't been touched. I figured it was only a matter of time though so I photographed it a bunch. Twelve days later, the statue was lynched by protestors -- torn down and burned.
2. APIKE_200607_37.JPG: Soldier. This is the only reference to Pike's involvement in the Confederate army.
3. APIKE_200607_42.JPG: Vixit Laborum ejus superstites sunt fructus [Weirdly, Google Translate says this Latin translates as "When fruit snacks were alive"]
4. APIKE_200607_61.JPG: G. Trentanove Fecit
5. APIKE_200607_63.JPG: Born December 29th, 1809. Died April 2nd, 1891.
6. APIKE_200607_71.JPG: Flli Galli Fusero Firenze 1900
7. APIKE_200621_055.JPG: I visited the Albert Pike statue in Judiciary Square on June 21, 2020, after it had been torn down on Juneteenth two days before. I had wondered why it had been untouched so far since Pike was the only Confederate general with an outdoors statue in Washington DC. I'm not in favor of tearing down monuments, but I agree this one should have been removed a long time before. In general, my criteria for keeping a memorial is that if the figure is primarily known for something we're embarrassed by now, take it down. Otherwise, leave it up. Confederate statues -- go! But George Washington or Thomas Jefferson, okay.
8. APIKE_200713_06.JPG: All of the graffiti has been cleaned up.
9. APIKE_200713_32.JPG: You can still see some discoloration from the graffiti.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! Trips: Because of COVID, the farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC -- and didn't do any overnight travel anywhere. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
