On the Tree at the Wall. Fremiet

The Vietnam War Memorial - The Wall

A tradition has developed to place a Christmas tree at the apex of the Wall each holiday season. Anyone can tie a message to the tree and it becomes decorated with hundreds and hundreds of messages. Here is one of them. Taken at night and illuminated by flashlight, resized and sharpened a tad, this is how it was left by the writer.

Sony Cybershot
1/4s f/2.0 at 9.7mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
