St. Patrick's Day celebrants line up outside Fadó, the Irish bar near 7th and H streets in DC. I took this picture at about 5 p.m., so things were getting off to a fairly early start. One of my classmates in a 10 a.m. class said he'd started the day with cocktails, so I guess a lot of people were taking the drinking aspect of St. Patrick's Day seriously.
PIWIT: Yakusha features a great shot of the train and metro tracks in Alexandria today. The black and white format seems very appropriate for a photo like this with such strong lines.
