Great photos of a solemn occasion.

a very good man. wonderful pictures.

Thanks for posting.

are brilliant in composition. Every photo seems to tell its own story with this president. Beautiful shots.

Gravitas; authenticity; compassion; elegance; humanity; true man of conscience.

I am a pagan /unitarian /agnostic / whatever. I needed to preface my following comment with that disclaimer: whether it's Shakespeare, the Greek and Roman pantheons, Aesop's fables, Indigenous creation stories, the Koran, Buddhism, Hinduism, the Judeo Christian bible or any other compendium of human behavior and ethics - pesons of Mr. Obama's stature, goodness, and nobility have been mythologized, regaled, humbled before, written about, since the beginning of human history. At the risk of sounding overly sentimental, I do believe we are living in a time of one of the great leaders of humanity. I for one am going to enjoy it. I am also going to spend the next 8 years working for him and his agenda in any and every way I can!

burden for a life you both have carried.

Wish my Dad's vision would allow him to appreciate it.

I like the contemplative, deep thinking look of those two.
