US Capitol, Washington, DC

2 June 2021 The Western face of the US Capitol, perhaps the most "classic" and iconic view of the building. Note the temporary fencing and scaffolding, lingering remnants of the January 6th 2021 attack by insurrectionists. Rodenstock 90mm/5.

Captured with the Phase One IQ4-150 digital back, Rodenstock 90mm/5.6 HR-Digaron lens (@ f/6.3) and about 10mm of vertical shift to maintain geometry.

Almost five years ago, a group of insurrectionist losers sacked this building in an attempt to overthrow the US Government and prevent the transfer of power to a newly elected president. They got frighteningly close to succeeding.

This photo was made about six months later; some of the physical damage from the attack remains visible here.
