    Your poem is poignant and all the more meaningful in its brevity. I like how the arch and pillars seem to frame the people as well as the water and sky.

    A solemn place, and solemn faces.
    Thanks for coming by.

    If you only scroll down enough to see the window and the sky, this looks like a modern sculpture. Then when you continue to scroll and the people rise into view, there is suddenly COLOR!

    Nice pic, and words to go with it, you’ve captured a somber attitude.

    The USS Arizona is on my bucket list.
