We’ve all caught a glorious sunrise or two in our lives, but Thursday morning’s was particularly spectacular. The south side of the War Memorial turned out to be a wise choice in vantage point–managed to snap a few of the best photos of my life, capturing light, city and sculpture–alongside a local favorite statue: “Pro Patria.” Designed by Henry Hering in 1929, meaning “For the Fatherland” and designed to represent and embody the spirit of a soldier, cast in bronze.
The pink granite base caught some wonderful reflections…
Historic things look so beautiful bathed in early morning light, no?
Wish to stay with this inspiring photography emphasizing historic places! (Dedicated by retired General John J Pershing on the tenth anniversary of the US entry into the Great War; 1927)
Tiffany:
You were definitely fortunate to be at the War Memorial at the right time. I especially enjoy your photographs. You should market them at a publish on demand site like Zazzle.com.
Thank you for sharing them.

Thanks so much, Dennis!
