This photo is in my mother's photo collection but not taken by her. It is actually a photo that you can find quite a lot on the internet. According to one page this photo was taken on 12th June 1945.
My mother was in the Queen Alexandra Royal Naval Nursing Service (QARNNS) in WWII. She was posted to Lisahally and was there in May 1945 when the german u-boats were surrendered.

That was the feeling I had when I tracked this bird to traverse across the sun. In spirituality, a consequence of surrender to the God is one's merger with Him. For me, this image signifies the beginning of that stage.

80-G-347105: Japanese Surrender, September 1945. Japanese hospital patients on Marshall Islands showing the effect of the Naval blockade on the Japanese Garrisons Mille, Maloelap and Qotji Atolls. Photograph by PhoM1/C Louis Lazarow and released September 15, 1945. U.S. Navy photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives. (2017/02/14).
Built between 1941 and 1944 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard, the USS Missouri (BB-63) was launched on January 29, 1944 and commissioned on June 11, 1944 to serve with the United States Navy in World War II. Active in the Pacific Theater of the war, the USS Missouri fought in the battle of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, and took part in the shelling of the Japanese home islands. On April 11, 1945, the ship was attacked by a kamikaze pilot and was struck on the side below the main deck, with the ship suffering relatively minor damage, which is still visible today. On September 2, 1945, while docked in Tokyo Bay, a delegation representing the Empire of Japan surrendered to allied forces on the deck of the USS Missouri, bringing World War II to an official end, with documents being signed by Japanese and Allied leaders. The ship subsequently returned to New York after stops in Guam and Hawaii, and underwent an overhaul in the New York Naval Shipyard. The ship then headed on a training cruise to Cuba before heading back to New York and then east across the Atlantic Ocean, making a stop at Gibraltar before arriving at Istanbul on April 5, 1946. The ship then headed to Greece in order to assist in quelling pro-Communist groups in an attempt to contain Soviet influence in postwar Europe, demonstrating the commitment of the United States to European countries following the war. The ship transported President Harry Truman and his family between Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the United States in September 1947 following the signing of the Rio treaty, broadening the Monroe doctrine and establishing solidarity between nations in the Americas. Following the war, most battleships in the US Navy were decommissioned, but the USS Missouri was kept active due to sentimental connections between it and President Truman, as well as the ship’s status as a relatively new vessel. However, the ship hit a shoal near Old Point Comfort, Virginia on January 17, 1950, leading to it becoming stranded and needing to be refloated and repaired. Upon the breakout of the Korean War, the USS Missouri was dispatched to the Korean Peninsula on August 19, 1950, in order to support UN forces on the peninsula. The ship provided artillery support to South Korean and United States forces attempting to push back the invasion of North Korean and Chinese forces, and was active until the end of hostilities in 1953. The ship returned to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard after the war, being overhauled before going on a patrol mission in June 1954, returning in August 1954. After this mission, the ship was sent to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in September 1954, where it was decommissioned on February 26, 1955, ending its first period of active service. The ship became a popular tourist attraction during its period of deactivation, remaining in use as a museum ship until 1984, with the surrender deck having bronze plaques and an exhibit set up to commemorate the ceremony that ended World War II, which occurred on the deck. In 1971, the ship was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its remarkable state of preservation, and the very historically notable events that took place on and around the ship. In the summer of 1984, as part of an initiative to expand the number of active ships in the United States Navy under President Ronald Reagan, the ship was reactivated and sent to the Long Beach Naval Shipyard for refurbishment and modernization, with many original features and weapons removed and replaced with far more advanced modern weaponry and systems. On May 10, 1986, the ship was formally recommissioned in San Francisco. The ship participated in patrols and naval exercises throughout the period between 1986 and 1991. During the Gulf War in January and February of 1991, the ship was utilized to assist forces pushing the Iraqi army out of Kuwait, with the ship’s missile and artillery systems being utilized against targets on land. After the end of the Gulf War and due to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the ship was decommissioned once again on March 31, 1992, at Long Beach, California. The ship was returned to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, as part of the reserve fleet, where it remained until January 12, 1995, when it was removed from the Naval Vessel Register. The ship was not operated as a museum ship at this time, and was towed from the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on May 23, 1998, before arriving at Ford Island in Pearl Harbor on June 22, 1998, opening to the public as a museum ship on January 29, 1999. The location of the ship in Pearl Harbor was chosen due to the significance of the harbor and the ship to the beginning and end of the direct involvement of the United States in World War II. The ship underwent an overhaul in 2009-10, which has ensured its continued preservation. The ship today serves as a museum to the operating history of the former military vessel, as well as the very historically significant ceremony on September 2, 1945, which ended World War II.

Alric Bravin shakes his head, his fingernails digging into the fabric of the chair. Kade couldn't have done that. "I just don't think she'd endanger the twins like that," he says, his voice hollow. After her actions when she'd found out Fal was his, however, made it all the more plausible. "Dia, my ID may not be completely on the Up and Up, if you get my drift. I couldn't take a chance. Not when Fal's involved." He lets out another sigh and closes his eyes. "I guess I have no choice but to talk to her."
Fallon Claymore tips her head up, and says softly. "Fine. Forget the twins for a moment. She tried to have me arrested by the UAC. Does that matter to you at all? Do you know what the UAC has done to me Alric?" She caught her breath and bit her lip. "That has to matter to you a little." She almost sounded pleading. "And yes, Talk to her. That woman is Evil. Catfights over your bon rien behind aside." She was pulling away from him. His reaction, to fallon, said a good bit. "You know, Alric... I can solve this. I can fix it and she won't ever know it was spoken. I give up."
Dia Kuhn Licks his lips and looks directly at Alric. "Fallon pregnant wit ya babies. Dat prolly mean dat she looked at as a home wreckah, not ta mention da lub, time, attention an credits you gon be gibbin ta dese girls. We all animals, when it git boiled down, an females do wat dey got ta do sometimes ta git tid ob da competition." he sighs. "Fallon been through enough. We wasn't habin a big ol loud party. Why dat UAC Marine come knockin on my office do? Most ob da time I ain't eben IN me office but ten minutes at a time ....." He looks at Fallon with a concerned look. "I don know wat ya got on ya mind, but I doubt i like it, Fallon." he says. "Mebbe it .. safah if someone ELSE claim dem babies as deres .... an not yours, Alric ..." he suggests.
Alric Bravin whips his head around to Fal, his mouth agape and his eyes flashing in the light. "I meant Kade's feelings for you aside, she wouldn't hurt the twins. MY own personal feelings had nothing to do with that statement," he says, his voice strained and soft as he feels his chest tighten. It felt like it was trying to cave in on itself. "Jesus, Fal, don't do this to me. I can't handle that right now." He looks back over at Dia. "No."
Fallon Claymore says quietly, "She can have you. If my daughters lives are the cost of spending some time with you, no matter how I feel, It isn't worth it. Tell her you've broken it off with me. And you've sold me. Dia can take over ownership of me and the girls." Her face was expressionless, her voice even... But a tell tale color was rising in her cheeks despite her outward calm. "No ultimatums. She wins. Tell her I said she wins." Her eyes glittered slightly with unshed tears, and she looked upwards, blinking rapidly for a moment to keep them from falling. She wouldn't risk it happening again. She had to keep calm. She had to keep calm. Calm. Her heart rate sped up. "You love her. You love her first, and she loves you. I don't really fit in that picture, not with her. I can't risk she'll lash out again and I get hurt. If I get hurt, they do."
"Unconditional Surrender" is a 25-foot sculpture by Seward J. Johnson that brings to life a famous black and white image of a sailor kissing a young nurse in Times Square, New York City, on August 14, 1945. The image captures the spontaneous eruption of joy and euphoria that swept a war-weary nation when the public announcement was finally made that World War II was over.

My life's philosophy: surrender. Surrender everything you have and all that you are to the one who made you and loves you, and experience life in the joy of Christ.
That's my life's philosophy.

Another rose motif from my current macro escapade with my new friend, my Panasonic Lumix (Hey they should make me a spokeman and give me free stuff). Took the same pink rose from one of my secretaries' desks and positioned it against a makeshift white background and pressed the shutter. I post processed with lightroom and PS CS 3 and CS 2 to achieve this acid washed watercolor feel.

They'd probably put my head in a guillotine
But it's alright, Ma, it's life, and life only." -- Bob Dylan

The Fine People At Wikipeda have this to say about the original picture(s) this was based on.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%e2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
V–J day in Times Square, perhaps the most famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, is of an American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Times Square on August 14, 1945, that was originally published in Life magazine. (The photograph is known under various names: V-J day in Times Square, V-Day, etc.[1])
Because Eisenstaedt was photographing rapidly changing events during the V-J celebrations he didn't get a chance to get names and details. The photograph does not clearly show the faces of either kisser and several people have laid claim to being the subjects. The photo was shot just south of 45th Street looking north from a location where Broadway and Seventh Avenue converge.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%e2%80%93J_day_in_Times_Square
However it does seem this statute is based on another photo taken at the same time by a navy photographer. (from the same Wiki entry):
U.S. Navy photo journalist Victor Jorgensen captured another view of the same scene, which was published in the New York Times.[4] This photograph shows less of Times Square in the background and does not show the full body of either the sailor or the nurse. Unlike the Eisenstaedt photograph, this photograph is in the public domain (by virtue of being produced by a federal government employee on official position).

I have a few more pictures of this shoot to upload. I will get this one up now and the rest at a later point.
