I spent the morning at the WWII memorial. It wasn’t planned, I was trying to shoot at Founder’s park but there were so many trees that it was blocking the colors of the sunrise. I ran over to the WWII and was amazed by the sky.
Thanks to the man who was cleaning up the memorial who let me use my tripod. Thanks to the parking ticket lady who almost gave me a ticket but I ran back to my car in time.

Information pertaining to these photos:
A person that I knew, who served in the Navy during the war, and developed photos (I assume photos from various recon missions, etc.) had a set of 8x10s he made from the negatives taken during the signing ceremonies, which I now have and I have scanned. I do not know who took these photos (probably several photographers).
I was only a couple of years of age when the war started, and I remember the victory parade down our town's street following this signing [On August 14, 1945, it was announced that Japan had surrendered unconditionally to the Allies, effectively ending World War II. ... V-J day has also been used for September 2, 1945, when Japan’s formal surrender took place aboard the U.S.S. Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay.].
I have posted these pictures FYI and so that we do not forget the many lives sacrificed for our freedoms. My children and grandchildren have only a vague knowledge of this war, and what it means to our history. I hope that we continue to honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can enjoy our lives today!
