Default USAF Memorial

Soaring
This is the United States Air Force Memorial located in Alexandria, VA dedicated to the 54,000 airmen who have died in combat. I shot this series with a Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II Wide Angle Lens

Off we go...
Many people look at this sculpture, and say what is it? I like it and find it a fitting memorial for all who served. Plus its cool to shoot.

Reflections
I couldn't help but reflect a little.

These are very nice. Great choice of lens and composition on the memorial looking up... I'm suse this is the look, feel the creator envisioned.
