Photo of the Day: October 10, 2007

Being somewhat of a history buff, I remember being bummed when I first moved to D.C. to discover the National Archives were closed for renovations. A few years later, the doors opened again, and finally seeing these amazing, centuries old documents in person is something I won't forget. Flickr user FrogMiller took this crystal clear photo (with no flash, of course) of Mr. Hancock's famous signature. EXIF.

Entrance to the Rotunda at the The National Archives, where the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence are displayed, is on Constitution Ave NW, between 7th and 9th Streets NW. Hours through fall and winter are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., everyday except Thanksgiving and Christmas. Admission is free.
