What a LOVELY fountain ... all the more beautiful with lights at night. I'm sharing a watery photo my sister took in South Bend, Washington at Small Reflections ;--)

Beautiful photo of the WWII Memorial and a lovely time of the day to capture the lights on the fountain. I have yet to get there but hope to rectify that situation soon. In the meantime I have really enjoyed this incredible shot. Thanks Carletta.

Your photo is wonderful, Carletta. This is a beautiful memorial. It make us pause and reflect on those who have served our country.

This looks delightful. I've been in Wash. DC in July, and with that humidity I can understand why people are sitting with their feet in the water. A pretty evening capture.

It's a beautiful memorial for one of many historical events which should not have had to be.
The twilight evokes sadness, the lighted fountains remind me of bombs and bullets. And the people can only stand and watch.

My grandfather was a WWII veteran. I am glad we have such a beautiful place here in the USA to remind us of all brave man and women who went through the nightmare of the WWII. Thank you!

This is a beautiful picture taken at dusk. I think this enhances the message of the memorial. Very well done!

The beautiful fountain is lightened so well.

Carletta, this is fantastic. I love public places in cities like this. Everyone can relate to the calmness of water an just sit and enjoy.

What a lovely photo. the light and the flow are wonderful.

I love visiting this memorial...one that took much too long to finally create.

My father was in WWII.

Beautiful composition. You know, I spent lots of time on the "mall" when I lived in VA, visiting The Wall, etc, but don't think I have been here. Tara and I plan on a trip to Wash DC in the fall.
