The inaugural gigapixel is cool, somewhat creepy fun.

A few thoughts:

*Lots and lots and lots of red hats
*All the ponchos make it look as though people are sitting in the Splash Zone at Sea World.
*Finding anyone in the audience with dark skin is like finding Waldo. Seriously. That crowd is majorly white. Majorly.
*The facial expressions of all the VIPs (former Presidents and First Ladys and such) behind Trump is essentially "Who farted? Oh yeah, it was Trump."
*Clarence Thomas obviously didn't get the memo sent to the other justices that their robes double as a ponchos.

4. Thanks! I zoomed on Obama, Hillary, Bill, Joe, etc.

None of them looked pleased. Joe Biden was cringing.

Melania didn't look happy either.

Ivanka had a huge smile, of course.

5. If you look at the crowd, folks are not even paying attention

They are on their smartphones, tablets or laptops..

6. Sourpuss IKGOPR* really looks as if they are inhaling the fart they farted on America

especially George Bush.

7. I've been using it to counter the allegation

that the aeral photos were taken at dawn (so as to compare poorly with Obama's crowd).

Someone making that claim posted the gigapixel as proof of the crowd size and wall-to-wall people. But if you zoom in on the tents (about halfway to the Washington Monument) you can clearly see the bare spaces in the crowd both in front of the tent and at the back of every section. ahead of that.

So I did that and posted a screen shot.

They'd probably heard about the Steele allegations and were taking precautions in case their new god-president got carried away in the jubilation of the moment and ... well, you know ...
