Good morning to all. Since it is a holiday here in the U.S. and not much activity from the weekend, I extended this thread another day.
Rich, a very famous photo indeed. I believe I read somewhere that it was somewhat "staged" as the photographer wanted to take another shot after the first one. I may be misremembering that. What matters is those marines did indeed raise the flag there.
I like that angle Lorell. It is different and interesting. I found out yesterday, after the fact, that there was a classic car show here in town and I missed it. There was also a Ham Radio contest yesterday that I wanted to try but I didn't think of it until it had been going on for 2 hours. Drat.
The local photo club's theme for this week is bridges so I drug out a couple of photos from the archives, but instead of meeting on the first Monday they are meeting on the second Monday. We'll be out of town so I will miss it. Anyway, here are a couple of the photos I was going to show.
