This was one of the first pictures I took once getting there. You can see the crowd was already back by the Washington Monument. The Ellipse part was already full and this was about 6:30 am already and you can see a long ways to go to filling it up all the way back probably past the monument. I said this last night. The first picture I posted here where the people did go all the way back there, it was like looking at the Grand Canyon. You can't capture or understand the depth of it. If you saw that picture realize a tiny dot way in the back was a person. Just like the lighting of this picture.
