So those teenage girls thought it would be smart to climb up to that 2nd tree with roots about 25-30 ft with almost zero support in sneakers.
Change of Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside the walls of the Kremlin in Moscow Russia
This is located on the traffic Island at the junction of Amiens Street and Memorial Road, close to Busáras and The Customs House.
Making a guess I would say that most people drive or walk by this without being aware that it is a sculpture which is a pity. It is known as ’Universal Links on Human Rights’ and it is a memorial in the form of a sphere of welded interlinked chains and bars. It is 260cm in diameter and it contains eternal flame powered by natural gas from Kinsale.
This sculpture was commissioned by Amnesty International in 1995. It represents the jails around the world holding prisoners of conscience.
A man opens the large iron cauldron in Reikado Hall, five minutes before the summit of Mt. Misen, to get a sip of the boiling water. The cauldron is placed over the Kiezu-no-hi (eternal flame), which Kobo Daishi himself is said to have lit when practising “Gumonji” training on Mt. Misen. The fire has been burning ever since (for over 1200 years) and is said to possess curative powers. Kiezu-no-hi was also used to light the Flame of Peace in Hiroshima's Peace Park, a pilot light transferred in 1964.
The eternal flame at the grave of President John F. Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington County, Virginia, in the United States.
John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas, on Friday, November 22, 1963. Initial press reports indicated that President Kennedy would be buried at Holyhood Cemetery in Brookline, Massachusetts, where his son Patrick Bouvier Kennedy (who had died on August 9, 1963, two days after his premature birth) was buried. But the site for the President's grave was quickly changed to the hillside just below Arlington House. The site was chosen because the President and his friend, architect John Carl Warnecke, happened to visit the site in March 1963 and the President had admired the peaceful atmosphere of the location. The initial suggestion to bury President Kennedy at Arlington appears to have been made by Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy agreed to the change. Although Kennedy's sisters and many of his long-time associates from Massachusetts were opposed to burial at Arlington, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy visited the site with McNamara on Saturday, November 23, and concluded that Mrs. Kennedy's wishes should be honored.
On Sunday, November 24, 1963, Jacqueline Kennedy requested an eternal flame for her husband's grave. The original site of Kennedy's grave was set in a plot of grass roughly 5 yards (4.6 m) on each side about halfway up the hill on which Arlington House stands.
The President's funeral was held on Monday, November 25. On the evening of November 26, the grave was surrounded by a white picket fence. The fencing covered an expanded area 30 feet (9.1 m) long by 20 feet (6.1 m) wide. The enlarged site was due to the wish of Mrs. Kennedy to inter her two deceased children next to their father. (In addition to Patrick Bouvier Kennedy, Mrs. Kennedy had given birth to an unnamed stillborn daughter in 1956.) Mrs. Kennedy's mother, Janet Auchincloss, oversaw the disinterment of the daughter in Newport, Rhode Island, while Cardinal Richard Cushing (a long-time friend of the family) supervised the disinterment of Patrick Kennedy in Massachusetts. The two children were buried next to their father on December 5, 1963. A small white cross was placed at the head of the daughter's grave, and a small white headstone placed at the head of Patrick Kennedy's grave.
Warnecke, Mrs. Kennedy, and Robert F. Kennedy visited Arlington on Wednesday, November 28, 1963, to discuss themes and plans for a permanent memorial. The following day, Warnecke was chosen by Mrs. Kennedy to design the president's tomb. The U.S. government formally set aside a 3 acres (1.2 ha) site surrounding the President's grave on December 5, 1963.
The final design was unveiled publicly at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., on November 13, 1964. A large oval granite walkway led to the site. The walkway's huge size partly helped to lessen the grade the public had to climb to reach the grave, and partly helped to accommodate the huge lines of people anticipated.
Warnecke envisioned a small elliptical plaza (120 feet (37 m) long and 50 feet (15 m) wide) made of marble set at the top of and inside the oval. The northeastern side of the elliptical plaza would be enclosed by a low wall inscribed with quotes from Kennedy's speeches. Marble steps led up from the plaza to a rectangular terrace 66 feet (20 m) long and 42 feet (13 m) wide. Centered in the terrace is a rectangular plot of grass 30 feet (9.1 m) long and 18 feet (5.5 m) wide, raised slightly above the ground level, which would accommodate the graves. Flat black slate grave markers (3 feet (0.91 m) by 4.53 feet (1.38 m)) marked each grave, listing the name and date of birth and death in raised lettering. The headstones would be set flush with the earth.
The plan was for work to begin in the fall of 1965 and be completed by the fall of 1966. The design required that the bodies of President Kennedy and his children be moved downhill about 20 feet (6.1 m). A 150-year-old oak tree, which was off-center in the circular pathway, was retained. The Kennedy family offered to pay for cost of teh grave site, but the U.S. government refused and asked them to pay only the $200,000-$300,000 cost of the grave itself. Most of the cost was attributed to the need to reinforce and strengthen the site to accommodate the weight of large crowds.
Aberthaw Construction built the grave site, Ammann & Whitney provided structural engineering services. The white marble for the plaza, terrace, and steps came from Proctor, Vermont, and the granite for the approaches came from Deer Isle, Maine.
In the fall of 1966 the decision was made to replace the grassy terrace with rough-hewn reddish-gold granite fieldstone set in a flagstone pattern. The fieldstones used had been taken more than 150 years ago from a quarry on Cape Cod near where President Kennedy used to spend his summers. The bronze brazier shape for the eternal flame was also replaced. Instead, a 5 feet (1.5 m) wide beige circular fieldstone (found on Cape Cod in 1965) was set nearly flush with the earth and used as a bracket for the flame.
Mrs. Kennedy, with assistance of Kennedy speechwriter Ted Sorenson, selected the inscriptions for the wall by November 1965, all of which came from Kennedy's inaugural address (although some were shortened for artistic reasons). John E. Benson inscribed the quotations onto the seven granite blocks.
The permanent John F. Kennedy grave site opened with little announcement or fanfare on March 15, 1967. The reburial of the bodies occurred on the evening of March 14, after Arlington National Cemetery had closed. The transfer was witnessed by newly elected Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Cardinal Richard Cushing of Boston. Consecration of the new burial site occurred at 7:00 AM on March 15, 1967, in a driving rain. The ceremony, which took 20 minutes, was attended by President Lyndon B. Johnson, Mrs. Kennedy, and members of the Kennedy family. Cardinal Cushing presided over the consecration. The final cost of the entire project was $2.2 million.
The "Arlington Oak" which stood off-center within the Kennedy memorial gravesite area was uprooted and killed on August 27, 2011, during Hurricane Irene. The gravesite was closed to the public for two days to remove the tree and stump, but reopened on August 30.
These earrings were made as a direct response to a visit to the Stalieno cemetery in Genova. On leaving the cemetery, which was full of beautiful "eternal flame" urns and candle-holders, I found the small washer (on the bottom of the middle earring) lying in the street. The gemstones - coloured synthetics - were specially cut for these earrings.
Another trio of earrings, forcing the wearer to make choices about the appearance of the pair worn.
I thought a rose might be in order for today... Haven't posted one in a while and they do brighten the day...The texture is from Jai Johnson and titled Moonlit Autumn Night in case you are interested...

Virginia War Memorial
South Belvedere Street
Richmond, Virginia
Shrine of Memory. At the south end of the Virginia War Memorial's Shrine of Memory stands a 23-foot marble statue of a woman, titled Memory, intended to reflect both sorrow and pride regarding those lost in battle during World War II and later wars; an eternal flame burns at her feet. When built in 1955, the Virginia War Memorial listed on the walls (glass to the east, marble and glass to the west) the names of Virginians killed in action (numbers in parentheses) in World War II (9,398) and Korea (850); those killed in action in Vietnam (1,379) were added in a 1981 addition to the north, while those killed in the Persion Gulf (7) were added in 1996. A more recent addition, extending back from the NE corner of the Shrine of Memory, is the Paul & Phyllis Galanti Education Center, whose offerings include museum displays and films. The War Memorial sits on Gambles Hill, between Belvidere Street (US 1 & 301) and 2nd Street, a short distance north of the James River; at the foot of Gambles Hill are the west end of the Richmond Canal Walk and the Civil War Center at the old Tredegar Iron Works. The buildings in the distance behind Memory are on the opposite side of the river.
I met Whisle at Virginia War Memorial in late afternoon last December, hoping for a starburst at sunset beside Memory statue, but sky was much more overcast than forecast; we stayed until after dark for shots with lights on the statue.

Per sempre més la ciutat d'Hiroshima estarà lligada a la destrucció nuclear, des del fatidic 6 d'agost del 1945. És dificil d'explicar tot l'horror que aquest nom ara implica.
Al Parc de la Pau es troba la flama eterna, que només serà apagada quan desapareguin les armes nuclears; malauradament, crec que ja poden soldar la posició de l'aixeta del gas en 'obert', perque n'hi ha per anys.
----------------------------------
For ever more the name of Hiroshima would be linked with nuclear destruction and the madness of war. It's dificult to write down all that this name means.
In the middle of the Peace Park, there's the eternal flame, which will only be extinguished when nuclear weapons were eliminated. Sadly, I think that we will see this flame burning for years and years...

Change of Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside the walls of the Kremlin in Moscow Russia
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot and killed on November 22, 1963 while on a campaign trip in Dallas Texas. He received a state funeral with a Roman Catholic ceremony performed by the Archbishop of Boston, Richard Cardinal Cushing, at Arlington National Cemetery on November 25, 1963. On Dec. 4, 1963, the two deceased Kennedy children were reburied in Arlington, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy from Brookline — who had predeceased JFK by 15 weeks — and an unnamed stillborn daughter from Newport, R.I. On May 23, 1994, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was buried next to President Kennedy. The gravesite was completed with addition of her grave marker Oct. 6, 1994.
It was originally expected that Kennedy would be buried near Brookline, Massachusetts. However his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy's wishes were stated simply, "He belongs to the people," and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara arranged for a plot on federal property at Arlington National cemetery. Three plots were initially considered: one near the mast of the USS Maine, one at Dewey Circle, and the third on the slope below Arlington House. The president's brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, found the "Maine" location inappropriate and the "Dewey" location inaccessible; however, he believed that the slope below Arlington House was ideal.
The initial plot was 20 feet by 30 feet and was surrounded by a white picket fence. During the first year often more than 3,000 people an hour visited the Kennedy gravesite, and on weekends an estimated 50,000 people visited. Three years after Kennedy's death, more than 16 million people had come to visit the Kennedy plot. Crowds necessitated a more suitable site, and John Warnecke and Associates completed the new site on July 20, 1967. The grave area is paved with irregular stones of Cape Cod granite, which were quarried around 1817 near the site of the president's home and selected by members of his family. Clover, and later, sedum were planted in the crevices to give the appearance of stones lying naturally in a Massachusetts field.
Lighted by Mrs. Kennedy during the funeral, the Eternal Flame burns from the center of a five-foot circular flat-granite stone at the head of the grave. The burner is a specially designed apparatus created by the Institute of Gas Technology of Chicago. A constantly flashing electric spark near the tip of the nozzle relights the gas should the flame be extinguished by rain, wind or accident. The fuel is natural gas and is mixed with a controlled quantity of air to achieve the color and shape of the flame.
John Fitzgerald, also referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK, John Kennedy or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. In 1960 he became the youngest man ever elected president of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. The Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War took place during his presidency.
Arlington National Cemetery, a military cemetery directly across the Potomac from Washington, D.c., was established during the Civil War on the grounds of the Arlington House, formerly the estate of the family of Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna (Custis) Lee, a descendant of Martha Washington. By 1864, the military cemeteries of Washington and Alexandria were filled with Union dead. After Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs quickly selected Arlington as a replacement, in part to prevent the Lee's from ever returning, the government confiscated the land claiming unpaid property taxes. Today, more than 300,000 people, including veterans and military casualties from every one of the nation's wars, are interred in the 624-acre cemetery administered by the Department of the Navy.
The graves of President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy in Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, D.C.
From wiki:
John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963), often referred to by his initials JFK, was the 35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963.
After Kennedy's military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 during World War II in the South Pacific, his aspirations turned political. With the encouragement and grooming of his father, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat, and in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1960. Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election, one of the closest in American history. To date, he is the only practicing Roman Catholic to be president. He was the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt), and the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43. Kennedy is also the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize. Events during his administration include the Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the African American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War.
Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime but was murdered two days later by Jack Ruby before he could be put on trial. The Warren Commission and the 1979 House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that Oswald was the assassin, with the HSCA allowing for the probability of conspiracy. The event proved to be an important moment in U.S. history because of its impact on the nation and the ensuing political repercussions. Today, Kennedy continues to rank highly in public opinion ratings of former U.S. presidents.
Jacqueline "Jackie" Lee Bouvier Kennedy Onassis (July 28, 1929 – May 19, 1994) was the wife of the 35th president of the United States, John F. Kennedy, and served as First Lady during his presidency from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. She was later married to Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis from 1968 until his death in 1975. In later years she had a successful career as a book editor. She is remembered for her style and elegance.

Die Tradition, ein Feuer zu Ehren der gefallenen Kämpfer zu entzünden, geht auf die Antike zurück. In neuerer Zeit wurde das erste Ewige Feuer 1923 am Arc de Triomphe in Paris eingerichtet. Danach entstanden Gedenkstätten mit dem Ewigen Feuer in Belgien, Portugal, Rumänien und Tschechien.
Das erste Ewige Feuer in der Sowjetunion wurde im Oktober 1957 in Leningrad auf dem Marsfeld am Denkmal für die Revolutionskämpfer installiert. Anschließend wurden dauerhaft brennende Flammen an den meisten Kriegsgedenkstätten, die in den sowjetischen Heldenstädten eröffnet wurden, entzündet.
Am 8. Mai 1967 wurde das Ewige Feuer zum Gedenken an die Gefallenen im Großen Vaterländischen Krieg im Alexandergarten an der Kremlmauer in Moskau entflammt.

Традиция зажигать огонь в честь погибших воинов родилась еще в древности. В новейшее время первый мемориальный Вечный огонь был зажжен в 1923 году у Триумфальной арки в Париже. Затем мемориалы с Вечным огнем появились в Бельгии, Португалии, Румынии, Чехии.
Первый вечный огонь в СССР загорится в октябре 1957 года в Ленинграде на Марсовом поле у памятника "Борцам революции". Вечный огонь на Марсовом поле станет источником пламени для большинства воинских мемориалов, открытых в городах-героях СССР.
8 мая 1967 года Вечный огонь в память о павших в Великой Отечественной войне будет зажжен в Александровском саду у Кремлевской стены в Москве.

The tradition of lighting a flame in honour of fallen soldiers has existed since ancient times. In more recent memory, the first eternal flame was lit in 1923 at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Later, eternal flame memorials appeared in Belgium, Portugal, Romania, and the Czech Republic.
The first eternal flame in the Soviet Union was lit in October 1957 in Leningrad on the Field of Mars at the Monument to the Fighters of the Revolution. The eternal flame on the Field of Mars was the source of the flames for most of the military memorials established in the hero cities of the USSR.
On 8 May 1967, the eternal flame in memory of those killed in the Great Patriotic War was lit in the Alexander Gardens near the Kremlin wall in Moscow.

Die Tradition, ein Feuer zu Ehren der gefallenen Kämpfer zu entzünden, geht auf die Antike zurück. In neuerer Zeit wurde das erste Ewige Feuer 1923 am Arc de Triomphe in Paris eingerichtet. Danach entstanden Gedenkstätten mit dem Ewigen Feuer in Belgien, Portugal, Rumänien und Tschechien.
Das erste Ewige Feuer in der Sowjetunion wurde im Oktober 1957 in Leningrad auf dem Marsfeld am Denkmal für die Revolutionskämpfer installiert. Anschließend wurden dauerhaft brennende Flammen an den meisten Kriegsgedenkstätten, die in den sowjetischen Heldenstädten eröffnet wurden, entzündet.
Am 8. Mai 1967 wurde das Ewige Feuer zum Gedenken an die Gefallenen im Großen Vaterländischen Krieg im Alexandergarten an der Kremlmauer in Moskau entflammt.

Традиция зажигать огонь в честь погибших воинов родилась еще в древности. В новейшее время первый мемориальный Вечный огонь был зажжен в 1923 году у Триумфальной арки в Париже. Затем мемориалы с Вечным огнем появились в Бельгии, Португалии, Румынии, Чехии.
Первый вечный огонь в СССР загорится в октябре 1957 года в Ленинграде на Марсовом поле у памятника "Борцам революции". Вечный огонь на Марсовом поле станет источником пламени для большинства воинских мемориалов, открытых в городах-героях СССР.
8 мая 1967 года Вечный огонь в память о павших в Великой Отечественной войне будет зажжен в Александровском саду у Кремлевской стены в Москве.
President John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot and killed on November 22, 1963 while on a campaign trip in Dallas Texas. He received a state funeral with a Roman Catholic ceremony performed by the Archbishop of Boston, Richard Cardinal Cushing, at Arlington National Cemetery on November 25, 1963. On Dec. 4, 1963, the two deceased Kennedy children were reburied in Arlington, Patrick Bouvier Kennedy from Brookline — who had predeceased JFK by 15 weeks — and an unnamed stillborn daughter from Newport, R.I. On May 23, 1994, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was buried next to President Kennedy. The gravesite was completed with addition of her grave marker Oct. 6, 1994.
It was originally expected that Kennedy would be buried near Brookline, Massachusetts. However his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy's wishes were stated simply, "He belongs to the people," and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara arranged for a plot on federal property at Arlington National cemetery. Three plots were initially considered: one near the mast of the USS Maine, one at Dewey Circle, and the third on the slope below Arlington House. The president's brother, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, found the "Maine" location inappropriate and the "Dewey" location inaccessible; however, he believed that the slope below Arlington House was ideal.
The initial plot was 20 feet by 30 feet and was surrounded by a white picket fence. During the first year often more than 3,000 people an hour visited the Kennedy gravesite, and on weekends an estimated 50,000 people visited. Three years after Kennedy's death, more than 16 million people had come to visit the Kennedy plot. Crowds necessitated a more suitable site, and John Warnecke and Associates completed the new site on July 20, 1967. The grave area is paved with irregular stones of Cape Cod granite, which were quarried around 1817 near the site of the president's home and selected by members of his family. Clover, and later, sedum were planted in the crevices to give the appearance of stones lying naturally in a Massachusetts field.
Lighted by Mrs. Kennedy during the funeral, the Eternal Flame burns from the center of a five-foot circular flat-granite stone at the head of the grave. The burner is a specially designed apparatus created by the Institute of Gas Technology of Chicago. A constantly flashing electric spark near the tip of the nozzle relights the gas should the flame be extinguished by rain, wind or accident. The fuel is natural gas and is mixed with a controlled quantity of air to achieve the color and shape of the flame.
John Fitzgerald, also referred to as John F. Kennedy, JFK, John Kennedy or Jack Kennedy, was the 35th President of the United States. In 1960 he became the youngest man ever elected president of the United States. He served from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. The Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the American Civil Rights Movement and early events of the Vietnam War took place during his presidency.
Arlington National Cemetery, a military cemetery directly across the Potomac from Washington, D.c., was established during the Civil War on the grounds of the Arlington House, formerly the estate of the family of Robert E. Lee's wife Mary Anna (Custis) Lee, a descendant of Martha Washington. By 1864, the military cemeteries of Washington and Alexandria were filled with Union dead. After Quartermaster General Montgomery C. Meigs quickly selected Arlington as a replacement, in part to prevent the Lee's from ever returning, the government confiscated the land claiming unpaid property taxes. Today, more than 300,000 people, including veterans and military casualties from every one of the nation's wars, are interred in the 624-acre cemetery administered by the Department of the Navy.

Change of Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside the walls of the Kremlin in Moscow Russia
The ruined building in the background is the Hiroshima Peace Memorial which stands just 150 m from Ground Zero, the point 600 m directly below the 6 August, 1945 explosion of the 'Little Boy' atomic bomb. The Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall remained standing because its columns were able to resist the near-vertical downward force of the 15 kiloton blast: a pressure of 35 t/m² and 440 m/s wind. However, all occupants died instantly and the building was gutted by fire.
Designed by Czech architect Jan Letzel and opened in 1915, the distinctively-domed Products Exhibition Hall hosted arts and educational exhibitions in the business district beside Aioibashi. That 'T'-shaped bridge over the Ōta River was used as the aiming point of the bomb, which missed by 240 m and detonated over Shima Hospital.
The Genbaku ('A-bomb') Dome was an anomalous landmark in the flattened cityscape, and rather than being demolished its skeleton was retained in the reconstruction of Hiroshima, as a memorial and focal point of the Peace Memorial Park laid out around it 1950–64. The ruin was stabilised in 1967 and 1989–90, but otherwise remains exactly as it was on the day. In 1996, the Genbaku Dome was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, despite US opposition.
The primary features of the park are laid out on an axis linking the Genbaku Dome to the Peace Memorial Museum via a cenotaph and this flame, which has burned continously since 1 August ,1964. The intention is to only extinguish it when all nuclear weapons have been decommissioned, worldwide.
Designed by Tange Kenzo, the pedestal is a stylised depiction of hands with their palms upraised.
The building on the right of the background is the Hiroshima Orizuru Tower, its rooftop observation deck overlooking the park and the city skyline as far as Miyajima.
