Description
More from my DC trip! I visited my daughter in this area during the Cherry Blossom festival.
I truly do not know the name of this place/pond lined with Cherry trees. My daughter and I rode the DC Duck boat for a mini-tour of DC capitol area. I know we were close to Union Station since that is where we started the tour. I believe it is a memorial of some kind.
If anyone has an idea of the real title of this place I would appreciate knowing.
EDIT: Since uploading - Duncan has supplied some interesting information in his comment. Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful shot. The guy in the wheelchair makes this especially moving. The names on the wall are those of the US internment camps used for Japnanese-Americans during WWII. Coupled with the Japanese style crane, I'm guessing it is a memorial to those poor souls sent to these camps. (And I realize it was war and all, but that nevertheless doesn't take away from the tragic if not immoral aspects of these camps.) Great capture and an interesting monument I was unaware of.

I've been to DC once, and that was back about 1981 - Mid-summer trip to visit a g/friend that was stationed in Quantico. I've always wanted to go back, and if Possible, go when the cherry blossoms are out. LOOKS GORGEOUS Jodie... :)

The cherry blossoms provide a special border for the pond. How sad but also appropriate for trees to stand guard over history.

It looks like rain in Cherry Blossom Lane, It looks like rain, it looks like rain..... Fine composition and detail in this capture of the pond and environs, Jodie. The photo looks like one of those infrared concepts that TwoPynts likes to post. Speaking of which, whatever happened to TwoPynts? Haven't seen him around for quite a spell.

(I realize I never commented on this! Missing a jodie shot borders on criminal!) Yes, duncan's comments are really helpful, and his comments would explain the "japanese garden" design of the memorial (especially the stray rough stones, the Japanese use stones the way we would use bushes). And as duncan points out, it's very poignant that you got the man in the wheelchair. I never cease to be amazed at your eye—you have 3 distinct layers, the sidewalk, the memorial, and those crazy pedestrian buildings in the background that seem to 'crash' the serenity of the scene! Just what cities do, everything piling on top of everything else...But your pov makes the memorial caress us, sweep around us, a small intimate world inside a big chaotic one. Lovely, J, as always. And nice color-harmony too.
