I tried to look at the additional photos. They are being hosted at a Microsoft Photo site. Only Microsoft could manage to have a simple photo site that is impossible for users to access because of “older versions” of software. They are stupid jpegs, any program can view them, but the site is tied to MS Silverlight, which apparently being a Microsoft product is incompatable with itself, requiring the “latest version” to accomplish a simple task.

Since I don’t have administrative access to put new crappy MS products on my computer, I can’t look at simple pictures? This is why I hate Microsoft. They must work hard at making sure you have to keep getting their latest software.

I guess I have a new enough version of Silverlight on my computer, so I didn't know about it being needed.

Too bad you can't see it, because it is a very neat scrollable composite of several images overlaid on each other to make up a mosaic of the Mall that you can pan, tilt, and zoom through.

There is also a moasic slide show you can run. Still looks like a helluva lot more than 87,000 to me. I see crowds of 87,000 on campus during football Saturdays, and there's lots more people on that mall than at the stadium.
