Lincoln and Jefferson have memorials that have gravitas. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is evocative. The World War II Memorial is solid and massive. The Marine Corps Memorial is stirring. But the USAF Memorial, against all of those, just looked cheap and slap-dash. Over time, though, I've grown to like its uniqueness, especially at night or early in the morning. It's also a kind of neat when seen from across the Potomac River. <BR/><BR/>So, like I said, it's grown on me. But, oy vey. At first? Yucky!Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-35688503241573755652008-08-13T00:44:00.000+02:002008-08-13T00:44:00.000+02:00I'm wondering why you didn't like it at first...

I was trying for more than just your typical vertical and horizontal shots.<BR/><BR/><BR/>AF: Thanks! Glad you stopped in. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Eki: Thank you! You would have missed this monument in 2005 because it was installed in 2006. Construction began in February 2006 and was completed in October of that year.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jackie: Thanks! At certain times of the day, this is a very striking memorial.
