Description
Captured 5/25/09, at the beautiful Los Angeles National Cemetery in beautiful West Los Angeles, California.
More than 86,000 veterans, going back to the Civil War, are interred there.
A ZOOM would be highly advantageous in this case.
I was a bit indecisive at first deciding which photos to post at this juncture, whether the final glorious parade of the services, or the preparations for the actual march, so I settled for the initial stages of the event. I felt showing the above after the main feature would be anticlimactic and out of sync.
Anyway, these shots are among the first I took, depicting the hail-fellow-well-met stage of action before the participants got real serious and in step with one another.
Since most of the several hundred cemetery pics came out dark, I've been postworking as fast and furiously as time and my other responsibilities will allow. I hope the fotos come out okay on your monitor.
Thankx for popping in, and have a tailor-made Thursday.

These functions are as much about renewing old acquaintences and making new ones as anything else. Your photos depict this togetherness perfectly. Quality looks fine to me...so, congrats on your postwork too!
