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).
Situated in Kampung Layang-Layangan, this spot has a great historical significance. At this very place on 10 September 1945 the Japanese Southern Army surrender to the 9th Division Australian Imperial Forces, which marked the end of World War II in Borneo.
During the Japanese occupation,Labuan was known as Maidashima or Maida Island. It was named after General Maida, the Chief Commander of the Japanese Force in Borneo.

They who surrender to a grasshopper may fear,
but undeniably believe what they cannot hear :
hey i'm not afraid. wake up ! you are poisoning my world !...
happened (also) to me 5 years ago when one lonely grasshopper kicked my nose and pulled my staring focus out, after which he kept staring at me for almost 2 minutes.
Life, it's only a matter of time... not only for you but also for others here now and still to come.
Not only conquer but acknowledge surrender makes not only yours, but also their lives won.
Cleo was adopted at 4 months old from my local shelter who said she had been surrendered for being in an apartment that did not permit large dogs. 8 years later, she is my guardian puppy, a shotgun rider in the car or truck and the most sweet personality & disposition you could ever want in a rottweiler. She has made a believer out of the meter man who was caught climbing over the gate and the guys who were trying to steal our A/C last year and the border patrol agent who was inspecting my truck who stuck his head in my window a little too far! She loves her dog house in the barn and her cot dog bed on the porch. But most of all, she has to have her peanut butter dog bones in the morning - no other flavor will do! I love her and wouldn't trade her for any high dollar papered pedigreed dog - she is a great companion & guardian. Good dogs do come from shelters - it's not their fault their owners weren't as good as they have the potential to be!
This thing still runs -- I've seen it physically degrade over the years but the Honda Elite is one reliable machine.

These are some pictures after I had been on Saipan for over six months. There were about 45 Japanese men and officers that came out of the jungle to surrender. I think it had been negotiated for a short time before. We heard them the night before celebrating with sake, we think. I was at the Engineer Gas Generating Plant on that day. A man from our company gave me a set.
I took this while we were on vacation in Sarasota, Florida this spring. It's a 26 foot tall statue of the famous photo taken at the conclusion of WWII.
Thought it looked best in black and white. :)

Lee's Surrender overshot blanket, ready to weave. This felt good!
I assume that this weaving pattern came from sometime around the Civil War, given the name. I can't wait to actually have it finished!

Anyone who knows their stuff in drum and bass has been eagerly awaiting the release of Joanna Syze’s sophomore album, Surrender. Over three years in the making and containing collaborations with the likes of RedPill, Barbarix, Chris.SU, Mizo and, of course, two tracks with the incomparable AKOV.
Surrender has obviously been worth the wait. Since its Beatport exclusive release on Friday, it’s shot to number four on the Beatport DnB Top 100 and a number of the singles from the album have charted as well. Rene LaVice featured three of Surrender‘s tracks on his BBC1 radio show and other singles have received high praise from Bassrush and District Bass. If that’s not enough, Joanna’s heart-rending story of how the album came to be was featured on UKF. There’s a reason it’s so deep, dark and emotional. You can check out that story here.
Another reason Surrender turned out so well is the collaborators who worked with her on this project, and her collab with AKOV on “Archangel” is a testament to that. The pair also worked with Volatile Cycle on another track called “Shadows” but “Archangel” is a real highlight in an album of highlights. The track combines Syze’s cinematic flare and AKOV’s heavier-than-heavy bass drops and neurofunk synths. In a recent interview with Bassrush, AKOV said he loves to bring a “crunchy” sound to his beats, and that’s definitely present here. If that wasn’t enough, Syze’s heart-rending and goth-tinged vocals float over and then wind around the beats and synths with some really interesting production. They appear both in the ambient sound space and in the forefront of the track, creating an effect of feeling her voice in multiple places, as an angel floating around the crunchy, crunchy bass. If you don’t get goosebumps from “Archangel,” you may not be alive yourself.
There really isn’t an album out right now like Surrender. It’s innovative and different, having been produced in a way that may not have been seen in drum and bass before. It’s a complete work and can be listened to as a full album, not just for its individual tracks. That said, each track also has its own unique vibe and each one can stand on its own as a massive tune. It’s truly one of the best LPs in 2019 so far, and “Archangel” with AKOV helps to inch the album out that much farther. It is a must must must cop.
Surrender is out now on Othercide Records on Beatport exclusive and will be released worldwide on February 22. Some singles like “Shadows,” “Dark Days,” “Nothing Lasts Forever” and the album’s title track can be streamed on YouTube or Soundcloud.
