NO POINTS DAY, PLEASE, TODAY NO POINTS.

I'm taking a break of my series of photos taken during my trip to California,(even though this picture was taking in California, I wasn't planning to post it in TE), to join my good friend Achim for this excellent idea.
This picture was taken on the beach of Santa Barbara, California, during the Memorial Day weekend. This is a memorial done at the beach for the men and women that died in the War.

NO POINTS, PLEASE.

Dear Emile,

For the day, for the memories, for the souls..
With prayers,
With a touch of love..

I'll respect your request, Emile, and refrain from giving points, but this is a really interesting and moving image. It shows wonderful graphics and conveys a serious mood. Well done.

Hola Emile.

Un muy bonito homenaje a gente que no debieron morir de la forma que lo hicieron...qué estupida es la gente a veces no?

Un saludo, Oscar

Olá Emile,
uma bela homenagem essa, tanto as vítimas como ao tema proposto. A foto ficou ótima, pena que a situação não seja...
Parabéns pela foto e Abraço

Hola Emile,
The perfect shot to argue for peace and when I see all of these crosses I think of how many more have died on the other side. You have managed this scene better thn any I have seen of such displays: framing it on the diagonal with the inclusion of crosses illustrated with photos and the couple pausing at a special cross make the work very heratfelt.
Peace, Pat

Hola Emile,
Aprovechaste muy bien el efecto gráfico de las cruces sobre la arena. Las personas acentúan la atmósfera conmovedora y de respetuosa del lugar. Estan muy bien posicionadas en la compo, y el mismo se pasa con la bandera mayor al fondo. Además, me gusta ver los barcos y los arboles.
He andado terriblemente ocupado y eso no me permitió participar em esta iniciativa tan meritoria.
Un fuerte abrazo, José.

Hi Emile!
A great composition, although really sad.It's surely an impressive cemetery. You placed the people very well. Very suitable for the theme!

Hi Emile,
For a moment of silence...TFS. Gerald

Hola Emile:

Un valioso homenaje a las personas caidas por el infortunio y la barbarie de la guerra.

La perspectiva es genial, con una gran profundidad de campo y calidez por parte de la pareja que acompana la escena.

Felicidades

Hello Emile,

I like the point of view, and what they do on the Santa Barbara beach is a great way to remember and celebrate peace!
A well composed presentation with awesome lines, that fits the theme well...

Have a peaceful day!
Pablo -

Thanks for this reminder.
Best wishes,
Achim

Wonderful shot; perfect for the theme. You have framed it perfectly using the many lines of perspective to take our eye to the large flag. What better way to campaign for peace than to see the senseless loss of life.

Hola Emile,
buena aportación al tema de Achim, esta foto tiene un gran simbolismo y mucha tristeza, y nos inspira un fuerte sentimiento de deseo de paz en todo el mundo.
La pareja en medio de este gran campo de cruces, como rindiendo homenaje a algun muerto en una guerra, quizá un familiar, y el fuerte grafismo geométrico de las pequeñas cruces muy bien alineadas, dan una gran fuerza visual a la composición.
Excelente trabajo, muy apropiado al tema.
Un fuerte abrazo desde Barcelona,
Josep
PS: ¿te jubilas ya? Es un merecido premio para tantos años de trabajo. Deseo que disfrutes de todo el tiempo del mundo para hacer las cosas que más te gusten y para estar también más tiempo con la familia.

Hola Emile
Important memorial for the victims of Iraq War. I've seen already in 2006. Unfortunately it needs to be done again and again.

Hola Emile!
"Nunca Mas" fueron las palabras habladas despuès de la primera guerra mundial. Pero, la gente, epecialmente los dirigentes siguen poniendo su poder antes la voluntad de Paz!
Non sé si podemos esperar una paz mundial una vez!
Gracias por compartir!

Hi Emile!
It`s not too late too write to this good shot and Achim`s theme.
A good and sad image,showing the result of this stupid war,but I think at this beach is not enough space to place crosses for all killed Iraqu people....
I`ve seen another shot of this place long time ago,do you know a website of this place.I think the crosses are only there at the weekend.
Regards,Leo

Hello Emile,
with the inclusion of the two in the memorial and the background surrounding you achieved to make this a strong impression. A good contribution to the theme and hopefully something we can avoid in the future.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf
