Have a Safe and Enjooyable 4th

Hope you all have a safe and enjoyable 4th.

This image is of Old Glory flying over the USS Arizona Memorial, Pearl Harbor Hawaii. It was shot through one of the 21 windows that represent the 21 gun salute for those entombed on the Arizona. Remember them and all who went before and followed in Harm's Way so we can be free and celebrate our independance in this great ccountry.

To our friends around the world, may you also live in freedom and honor those that allowed you to.


(I applied a poster edge and a plastic wrap filter to create the effect.)

Mark, The effect looks cool on the flag!! I like the way you put the window on a diagonal against the black BG.
Really beautiful sentiment Mark!!! Have a safe and Happy 4th of July.

Thanks Denise.

I liked the effect, as it seemed to me to be a view by those for whom the flag flies, who are entombed under the memorial within the Arizona. Kind of like looking up through the water to make sure their loss was not in vain and Old Glory is still flying over them.

Mark, Your thoughts make it even more special.

Mark,
You are a great man! Wonderful image, thoughtful words that could not ring truer. Happy Independence Day my friends! We are always with you in Australia! Great alliance of great people.

Freedom is the best thing that came to my life after defecting from behind the Iron Curtain in '85. Thank you all!

Mark
I don't know what I like more.....the image or the sentiment. Well done.....and may you have a safe and wonderful 4th of July.

Mark, a wonderful image for this wonderful country. We are so privileged to live as free people. Thanks for
sharing:)
