They look identical -- I'll bet it's the same image that CCrew mentioned (we've got lots of satellites, but only so many of them went overhead for pictures at that instant.. ).

And at 11:19? Bam! Finally, something on BF I got right!

There were several areas that I could see just east of the Wash. Monument which were fenced off due to various reasons, such as a big tower with a few people standing on top. Security or cameras, I would guess.
Yeah, I saw that as I was leaving. Looked like they didn't want anyone stumbling over the audio system and jumbotron, too.

You can also see Marine 1 parked on top of the new visitor's center on the east side of the Capitol.

Ya know, when I read this post, my eyes completely glossed over the time and went straight to "Pm me your email if you want a copy".

Bikes: Too darn many.. latest count is 11

The WP picture was snapped @ 11:17:58am to be exact, and came down @ 11:19 from the sat. . WP supposedly has an 11:47 one that I'm looking for.

I prefer the unedited versions, without all the pan/zoom nonsense
