This is a picture I took last spring at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. The memorial was designed by Maya Lin in 1981. The walls of the memorial have a mirror-like surface of polished black granite reflecting images of the visitors and surrounding monuments, trees and clouds. The names of all the dead and missing are engraved on its walls. The young girl above is making a rubbing of one of the names

That's a beautiful shot...perfectly captured in black and white. I remember I was at the opening ceremony of this memorial...years ago...it was very moving.
One of the iconic war memorials, and a great new way of seeing it.
This is award-winning photo journalism work! You really captured a poignant moment and monochrome is a brilliant choice for this somber scene.
