THEME: REFLECT (Post #65; Day #60)
This is the last of my images from the New Mexico Veterans Memorial. This is "The Word From Home" station of the Memorial Garden. Veterans and their families shared the text of their personal messages to and from home during their time of service, to be engraved on the wall. I think this picture captures the theme of "reflect" in two ways. Reading the messages, I reflected on the experience of separation during conflict, while, more literally, the wall reflected the surrounding scenery.

This just breaks one's heart. Your capturing the writing against the reflections of a quiet winter day makes them all the more poignant.
ReplyDeleteThe wall reflections are so clear and I'm sure that reading the thoughts of the vets was very moving.
