The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

The muted colors of the flag in the last shot are quite nice.

We visit family in DC fairly often when my wife's bro is stationed there -- and I have only seen the AF Memorial from the highway where it it looks a little odd and small against the backdrop of DC, like a peculiar crown; not as large as the Calvary mess that later appears so huge on the way to Baltimore



But its all perspective, Nice shots EC, and it definitely soars



reminds me as well of the St. Louis Arch; you have to be beside it to get it at all ( there is the ribbon of stainless steel aspect to them both, and the difficulty of achieving that)



nice photos
