I commend you on a beautiful photograph of The Wall. I have always wanted to see it but have not had a chance yet. At 74 I probably need to get a move on now. As another poster mentioned I don't know if I could/would want to get close to it. The USMC memorial would probably have the same affect on me. Maybe this Spring will be a good to go find out.
Thank you,
Dennis

Great shot. I have never been to Washington DC to visit that memorial; I know I will find the names of several of my high school classmates on it. There is a memorial in Marseilles, IL; that memorial is in honor of those fallen heroes during the Gulf Wars. I visit it regularly. What I would like to visit is the memorial for the fallen heroes of the Normandy Invasion because my dad was part of that moment in history.

This is the Gulf War Memorial in Marseilles, IL, not the best shot and was taken with my cell phone. The second shot is an abandoned box printing plant in the vicinity; I shoot the box plant when I want to test a new lens or lens/camera combo; there is a lot of detail that I reference when testing a lens there.

Stunning Richard, all the more so for SOC. Was there in the mid-nineties, saw classmates names and paused longer than anticipated. A co-worker had asked me to trace her brother’s name, which not to sound too melodramatic, I did with as much reverence as I could. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely worth the patience to take 30 shots or even more. Great image
