This morning the Cowboy Indian Alliance officially opened the Reject and Protect tipi camp on the National Mall. I had to work and couldn't take my own photos of the opening ceremonies, but 350.org's photographers did a beautiful job and offered images on their facebook page. Here are a couple.

After work around 7pm I couldn't resist and drove down the Mall to see the tipi camp. Follow me below the squiggle and have a look at my own photos and listen to some sound bites from this evening, April 22nd.
