Haven't been to Hawaii in several years, but Hat Trick's sunset shots remind me that it is time to get back there.
Nice tones and dramatic composition Trog. Conveys a similarity to the Irish coastline, except that with Hawaii we're talking tropical paradise.

We toured Arlington National Cemetery
We took the tour 2 consecutive mornings. We were told that the flags are at half staff when a funeral is scheduled. They are at half mast 1/2 hour before and after the funeral. Since there are between 15 and 30 funerals a day, the flag is at half mast most if not all day.
All are asked not to photograph any of the funerals.
There are only 2 wooden crosses in Arlington National Cemetery. They are for Robert and Ted Kennedy.
The Lee home is at the top of the hill.

Women's War Memorial
The Women's War Memorial is at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery. This memorial is at the opposite end of the boulevard as the Lincoln Memorial.

Geo . . . you have wonderful images from DC. I hope you don't mind that I've piggy-backed on your thoughts, and added one of my own.

Von, thank you for your kind words. All should feel free to honor our Vets.
Thanks HatTrick.
I know what you mean by "another's perspective." DW is the the real photographer of us 2. I can be standing right next to her and don't understand why she is taking the photograph. When I see the shot on the puter, it makes total sense to me as to why she took it.

Wonderful photos Geo . . . thanks again.
I have to admit, growing up in the DC metro area and visiting Arlington Cemetery, I never really fully appreciated it until many years later as an adult. My ex husband's father is buried there and the parents of one of my dearest friends are both there.
When I took my current hubby there in 06 we were honored to be present during a full military honors funeral service. I still remember the chills that went up my spine as the horse drawn caisson passed by.
