Arlington West is an ongoing display of the casualties in Iraq on East Beach in Santa Barbara, to protest against the war in Iraq, and increase the public awareness regarding the military and political fallout of staying there. Each Sunday morning thousands of crosses, as the number of the fallen, for that day, are placed in the sand and volunteers are providing the public with up to the moment information on casualties plus individual stories on the fallen. This image was taken at memorial day 2007 as a tribute and memorial and as a cry for peace… The combination of the loss and hope for peace left a profound impact on me. / Eyal Nahmias First place: Personal meaning challenge @ Photography Challenge Group Featured: Photography Challenge Group, October 2009 / Featured: Male Photography Group, September 2009 / Featured: Street Photography and Photojournalism Group, January 2009 Nikon D70

Cute little family of ducks in Arlington Park, Sarasota, FL This mother duck had just been attacked by a Moscovy Duck that is twice her size. The babies were running everywhere trying to hide. My hubby chased the Muscovy away from her and the little one came looking for her. Hubby said the Moscovy had one of these little babies in his bill when he first encountered the situation.

This is a image that caught my eye, and had to photograph it! I am drawn into the image, but feel thats what the artists wanted others to see! I liked their use of color, especially the way they used white as like glowing personality, and reflection in her eyes! I was also pulled into the appearance of repairs made after it was painted! I see graffi all the time, but this showed talent waiting to be discovered! I always look for things that give me inspiration, which I feel this did! I have to wonder who did this? Whos the inspiration for the work!? And, Who is Vic? I hope they will enjoy my expression of their work, as much I did theirs!

The Tomb of the Unknowns is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in any weather by Tomb Guard sentinels. These sentinels are considered to be the best of the elite 3rd United States Infantry (the Old Guard), headquartered at Fort Myer, Virginia, which is adjacent to and directly behind Arlington National Cemetery, where the tomb is located. In an elaborate ritual the guard is changed every hour on the hour from October 1 to March 31, and then from April 1 through September 30 the guard is changed on the half hour as well, allowing twice the amount of viewing of the Changing of the Guard during the warmer months when there are more tourists in the cemetery. The ritual starts when an impeccably uniformed relief commander appears on the plaza near the tomb to announce the Changing of the Guard. Soon the new sentinel arrives from the nearly Quarters of the Guard and unlocks the bolt of his or her M-14 rifle to signal to the relief commander to start the ceremony. The relief commander walks to the tomb and salutes, then faces the spectators and asks them to stand and stay silent during the ceremony. The relief commander conducts a detailed white-glove inspection of the weapon of the sentinel who has just arrived, then the relief commander and the new sentinel meet the retiring sentinel at the center of the matted path in front of the tomb, then all three turn and salute the tomb. The relief commander then orders the retiring sentinel to “Pass on your orders.” The retiring sentinel commands by saying, “Post and orders, remain as directed.” The newly posted sentinel replies, “Orders acknowledged,” and steps into position on the black mat. Then the relief commander and retiring sentinel exit the plaza and leave the new sentinel to keep guard for the next half hour or hour, depending on the time of year. To keep guard, the sentinel on duty marches back and forth before the tomb taking 21 steps in each direction, with a 21-second pause at each end before turning around. The number 21 was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed upon the unknown soldiers—the 21-gun salute.

A late afternoon walk through the National Trust’s Arlington Court woodlands, North Devon, UK. One of my favourite local walks I’d envisioned this shot for a while, but had to wait for the right day when the sunlight highlighted the hamlet of Loxhore Cott and surrounding fields around the River Yeo valley.

The Iwo Jima Memorial, also known as the U. S. Marine Corps War Memorial, honors the Marines who have died defending the United States.The Iwo Jima Memorial is located / in Arlington, Virginia.Iwo Jima, a small island located 660 miles south of Tokyo, was the last territory that U.S. troops recaptured from the Japanese during World War II. The Iwo Jima Memorial statue depicts the scene of the flag raising by five Marines and a Navy hospital corpsman that signaled the successful takeover of the island. The capture of Iwo Jima eventually led to the end of the war in 1945. I wanted a different approach to this memorial.

It’s a picture of the funeral of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. The picture is in B/W, but on this time of a sunny day you can see reflections from the outside, which makes it almost a coloured picture.

On a Virginia hillside rising above the Potomac River and overlooking Washington, D.C., stands Arlington House. The 19th-century mansion seems out of place amid the more than 250,000 military grave sites that stretch out around it. Yet, when construction began in 1802, the estate was not intended to be a national cemetery. Arlington House was the home of Robert E. Lee and his family for 30 years and is uniquely associated with the Washington and Custis families / Canon 40D / Sigma 10-20mm / ISO 100,1/50 f/11 /

Featured in the ImageWriting group, / in the Canon DSLR group, / in the AMERICAN PATRIOT group (2x), / in the United States group and / in the Historic Places group. The Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. / (American Historic Heritage) The Tomb of the Unknowns (also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier) is guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in any weather by Tomb Guard sentinels. Sentinels, all volunteers, are considered to be the best of the elite 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard), headquartered at Fort Myer, Va. After members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry become ceremonially qualified, they are eligible to volunteer for duty as sentinels at the Tomb. If accepted, they are assigned to Company E of The Old Guard. Each soldier must be in superb physical condition, possess an unblemished military record and be between 5 feet, 10 inches and 6 feet, 4 inches tall, with a proportionate weight and build. An interview and a two-week trial to determine a volunteer’s capability to train as a tomb guard is required. During the trial phase, would-be sentinels memorize seven pages of Arlington National Cemetery history. This information must be recited verbatim in order to earn a “walk.” A walk occurs between guard changes. A daytime walk is one-half hour in the summer and one hour in the winter. All night walks are one hour. If a soldier passes the first training phase, “new-soldier” training begins. New sentinels learn the history of Arlington National Cemetery and the grave locations of nearly 300 veterans. They learn the guard-change ceremony and the manual of arms that takes place during the inspection portion of the Changing of the Guard. Sentinels learn to keep their uniforms and weapons in immaculate condition. The sentinels will be tested to earn the privilege of wearing the silver Tomb Guard Identification Badge after several months of serving. First, they are tested on their manual of arms, uniform preparation and their walks. Then, the Badge Test is given. The test is 100 randomly selected questions of the 300 items memorized during training on the history of Arlington National Cemetery and the Tomb of the Unknowns. The would-be badge holder must get more than 95 percent correct to succeed. Only 400 Tomb Guard Badges have been awarded since it was created in February 1958. The Tomb Guard Identification Badge is a temporary award until the badge-holding sentinel has honorably served at the Tomb of the Unknowns for nine months. At that time, the award can be made a permanent badge, which may then be worn for the rest of a military career. The silver badge is an upside-down, laurel-leaf wreath surrounding a depiction of the front face of the Tomb. Peace, Victory and Valor are portrayed as Greek figures. The words “Honor Guard” are shown below the Tomb on the badge. There are three reliefs, each having one relief commander and about six sentinels. The three reliefs are divided by height so that those in each guard change ceremony look similar. The sentinels rotate walks every hour in the winter and at night, and every half-hour in the day during the summer. The Tomb Guard Quarters is staffed using a rotating Kelly system. Each relief has the following schedule: first day on, one day off, second day on, one day off, third day on, four days off. Then, their schedule repeats. The guard is changed every hour on the hour Oct. 1 to March 31 in an elaborate ritual. From April 1 through September 30, there are more than double the opportunities to view the change because another change is added on the half hour and the cemetery closing time moves from 5 to 7 p.m. An impeccably uniformed relief commander appears on the plaza to announce the Changing of the Guard. Soon the new sentinel leaves the Quarters and unlocks the bolt of his or her M-14 rifle to signal to the relief commander to start the ceremony. The relief commander walks out to the Tomb and salutes, then faces the spectators and asks them to stand and stay silent during the ceremony. The relief commander conducts a detailed white-glove inspection of the weapon, checking each part of the rifle once. Then, the relief commander and the relieving sentinel meet the retiring sentinel at the center of the matted path in front of the Tomb. All three salute the Unknowns who have been symbolically given the Medal of Honor. Then the relief commander orders the relieved sentinel, “Pass on your orders.” The current sentinel commands, “Post and orders, remain as directed.” The newly posted sentinel replies, “Orders acknowledged,” and steps into position on the black mat. When the relief commander passes by, the new sentinel begins walking at a cadence of 90 steps per minute. The Tomb Guard marches 21 steps down the black mat behind the Tomb, turns, faces east for 21 seconds, turns and faces north for 21 seconds, then takes 21 steps down the mat and repeats the process. After the turn, the sentinel executes a sharp “shoulder-arms” movement to place the weapon on the shoulder closest to the visitors to signify that the sentinel stands between the Tomb and any possible threat. Twenty-one was chosen because it symbolizes the highest military honor that can be bestowed—the 21-gun salute. Duty time when not “walking” is spent in the Tomb Guard Quarters below the Memorial Display Room of the Memorial Amphitheater where they study Cemetery “knowledge,” clean their weapons and help the rest of their relief prepare for the Changing of the Guard. The guards also train on their days off. The Guards of Honor at the Tomb of the Unknowns are highly motivated and are proud to honor all American service members who are “Known But to God.” Canon EOS 40D / Canon Zoom lens EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM lens / Exposure time 1/500s / Aperture value f/5,6 / ISO 400 / Focal length 85 mm

A horse-drawn caisson carries an American veteran to his grave in Arlington National Cemetery. For a caisson funeral seven horses are used—three teams of two plus a lead horse to the left of the first team. The three teams together pull the flag draped casket on a black artillery caisson. All six horses pulling the caisson are saddled, but only the three horses on the left side carry riders, while the horses on the right are riderless as a symbolic gesture to the fallen soldier.
