Monument, Manzanar

Manzanar was the location of an internment camp for Japanese-Americans during WW2. A blot on the country's conscience. Manzanar was one of ten such camps. The image was taken in the cemetery.

A solemn landmark, and quite significant in light of what has been going on since this century's beginning.

I agree that you were channeling Ansel Adams........so well captured the meaning of the monument! You're a winner! Mt. Williamson and the Monument will stand the test of time. So will this photo!

Nicely presented, Neil. Australia has similar memories from an awful period of world history.

Splendid composition Good work Neil vote

Beautiful in monochrome Neil.
New Zealand's shame is the Featherston prisoner of war camp, set up at the request of the U.S.A.
In 1943 the prisoners refused to work. In the ensuing riot 64 Japanese were killed. ~v~

A solemn feeling to this monument with the hazy mountains in the background. Very well photographed and processed Neil. "V"

a fine shot Neil...Japanese were also interned at that time up here, in a shameful episode of BC's past..
