I thought that pizza looked familiar! We have a house at Harvey's Lake where the original Grotto Pizza is located. Great pizza.
I also have relatives in Houston, DE who worked at Rehobeth Beach.

Two more from a different memorial in DC. Both of these are with the 105 1.8 AIS.

Kevin they're looking good. 6121 is amazing - the lines, shapes and shadows. Well done!

Was this you Curtis?

When I saw this I thought for sure Curtis was selling off his equipment.

Thanks Kevin.
About your moon shot. I actually like the original shot better.

That's quite some ship, and the view out the window looks great too. I've forgotten what the sky looks like behind all the clouds we've had for several months. I even went to Italy and all I got was a blizzard and several hour flight delay.

It looks like a lot of people to the reunion, hope you are having a great time.

The more I look at it, I do too. Thank you.

Nice looking party Ron - had a very nice week on the shore fairly close to Dover AFB 2 years ago with family but our pizzas didn't look that good!

Samy, your images of the memorials and statues are well taken and remind us that we all end up in the same place at the end. The men in the foreground are probably in their '60's now and I can recall quite clearly being on a PanAm flight to Tehran in 1968 with quite a few young guys my age who were on their way to Viet Nam. Now 45 years on one has to ask "what for?"

I wonder what this generation of soldiers will be saying in 40 years time about their wasted efforts in far flung wars?

Rafael - looks like a fun group. Hope you enjoyed it.

Chuong - it's good watching the kids on this thread growing up and doing what kids are supposed to do Lovely shot.

Laura - I like the pumpkin but please stop before you join the ranks of grunge photographers

That's just lovely Chuong

Ron I love the "party " shots
Samy I so much enjoy the monuments and statues. It's been a lot of years since i was in Washington so it's nice to see your shots
Rafael that looks like quite a family reunion
Chuong looks like you really have a handle on the 85mm 1.4 - looking good!
Reagan I messaged the guy with the 300mm and asked for a photo into the lens. We'll see

Ray, I also sent him a message last night at 7pm and no response
Chuong, beautiful photo.
Rafael, nice photo of the ship

James,

She went to see the Ringling Bros Circus and came home like that.

Thanks Peter, Chin, Reagan, and Ray for your comments.
