This is the Mormon Temple in Bethesda, MD. The bridge that crosses the beltway just in front of us frequently carries the graffito "Surrender Dorothy!", when it's not blacked out by diligent road crews.
I captured this scene with my iPhone 16 Pro Max while visiting Bayfront Park in Sarasota, FL. This statue is dedicated to the end of WW II after Japan surrendered. It is a replica of a famous photograph taken in New York's Times Square on V-J Day in 1945 of a World War II sailor bending over to kiss a woman. I love the mourning dove on top of the sailor's hat.

The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park has original and reconstructed nineteenth century buildings. The village was made a national monument in 1940 and a national historical park in 1954. It is famous as the site of the Battle of Appomattox Court House and containing the house of Wilmer McLean, where the surrender of the Confederate Army under Robert E. Lee to Union commander Ulysses S. Grant took place on April 9, 1865, effectively ending the American Civil War.

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.

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).
the afterlife
today is
yesterday's tomorrow,
and this is
the only afterlife
i know.
we chose
heaven and hell
and all
in between
with each
and every
breath.
surrendering to grace
instantly
burns all karma
to ashes;
god's infinite mercy
manifests
in a blink
of an eyelid.
so die right now
ya yosy!
and thus
live
forever.

Day 116 of 365: "Moment of Surrender"
From the looks of it, this old church ready to surrender itself to the laws of physics and nature and eventually, and sadly, be gone for good. It looks like the only thing holding this old church together is a higher power, a force greater than itself.
For me that greater power is my creativity; at times, that's all that holds me together.
Almost a third of the way through this photo a day project, I'm beginning to realize that I have to surrender myself to my art, sometimes get out of its way and just let it happen. I have to surrender myself to my creativity and not care what others think. And yet, when I do, will anybody notice?
"At the moment of surrender
I folded to my knees
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me
I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control" - U2
