A strong and telling photo. And the quote is just perfect for setting the ambience.
Many thanks, Otto… That is what I had intended to convey.

Powerful quote and image to match! Well done 🙂

A couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to visit the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor and the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific in Hawaii. Your photo brought back all the conflicting emotions I felt at the time: frustration, sadness and strangely, peace.
