Memorial Photoshoot Part II: Vietnam

I had not yet been to the Vietnam War Memorial, and it was fun to see something new with Chris. The memorial wall is something of a masterpiece. It lists the names of the soldiers who died in the War, and it starts low to the ground and grows to a zenith, representing the growth and peak of the number of casualties. The wall is a beautiful reflective black with the names in white, and works as a mirror to reflect muted images of the vistors.





Stunning with the ghost of the Washington Monument reflected by the panel that makes up one half of the peak.





I love the colors of this statue; in unrelated news, the soldier in the middle reminds me of Christopher Walken.
