5/30/2011: Memorial Day

When I took this photo a week ago, on a rainy, foggy day in Bar Harbor Maine, I was not thinking of Memorial Day, but it seems appropriate this morning, when we honor those who have died in service to our country…and, while I do not believe in war as a solution to any conflict…I recognize the genuine personal sacrifice of our honored dead. I am sure the bells in that bell tower are tolling long and slow this morning, and it is right that they should.

    This is beautiful. I like graveyard photography, and really enjoying wandering and taking pics in them myself. This is so well done, and your angle and foreground wall makes this!
