Well captured Manuel. It is indeed a fine tribute to the souls who perished for our freedom.

"To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy."
~ Henri Cartier-Bresson
Very nice. Now the Pigeons are watching you.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

And here we have another beautiful place in your city and I like the way you captured it. Something I had to learn here - when you remove the wires, you will get higher votes. Smile. But the light, the angle everything else is simply a dream.

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Crane.
I'm just reading a nonfiction book about World War 1 and some of the key figures so this fits in nicely to remember a part of how many were lost in not only this war but in all that wars...As a composition, I think that Blumie is right. There needs to be a little bit of cloning out of those wires to make this even more outstanding.
