Arlington National Cemetery 11/2/2007.
There are signs all over the grounds that read "Silence and Respect". I got there early, was the first visitor car to park in the lot. A short time later bus loads of school kids were there, and I ran in to them at the Tomb of the Unknowns. As they arrived there, I moved on....
This photo was taken on November 2, 2007 using a Nikon D200.

Wonderful shot Jon. The lighting and colors make it very interesting. Well composed. The subject and title speak for themselves - nice.

I'm glad you got this historical shot before they got there. Were you on a hill, the perspective is excellent. A nice tribute to those who gave their lives.

The light adds a feeling of hope in addition to the somberness of the subject.

I have never seen it look quite this way. I know how hard it is to get a quite time to get a photo. Lot's of visitors. This is very lovely.
