National Archive Building Rotunda

National Archive Building Rotunda, a photo by fangleman on Flickr.

...Taken from the floor using the 1030sw on self timer. Again, very noisy...

Old documents are hard to read, especially in the low light, and with people pushing for position...

UPDATE

Of course, I didn't use flash but because of other idiots who can't seem to learn how to turn off their flash we are once again treated to an over-reacting, stubborn, and ignorant government:

Why do I say that? See here:

It is often a very long wait and difficult to get to see the rotunda, where these important and historic documents are. People from around the world come here to the great freedom of America, and can't even take a silly picture like mine above.

I say that the ignorant government and the idiots that can't turn off their flash share equally in the blame. So a big "F-you" to them all.
