2006 Cherry Blossoms Season Photos Never Before Seen

In commemoration of the 2007 National Cherry Blossom Festival which kicks-off tomorrrow - Saturday, 31 March 2007 - may I bring your attention to a collection of never before seen images taken exactly one year ago, today, when in celebration of the 2006 National Cherry Blossom Festival that my 31 March 2006 Friday Afternoon Photo Walk took me from downtown at Freedom Plaza, across the National Mall and over to the Tidal Basin before returning home by way of the Southwest Waterfront Marina.

J18-03 Photos Never Before Seen

On Saturday, 18 January 2003, I would document one of the largest anti-war demonstrations to have marched through the streets of Washington DC. Which in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday proceeded from a morning rally on the National Mall along Independence and Pennsylvania avenues, pass the US Capitol, through Capitol Hill and down 8th and M streets to the Navy Yard.

Though the organizers, A.N.S.W.E.R. International, estimated half a million, the Washington Post and other press rounded the figure closer to 200,000. Which, in any case exceeded the 100,000 that, on 26 October 2002, marched onto the White House.
