The Veranda

Take a moment to reflect today and give thanks. Today is our Memorial Day in the US. A day to remember that our freedom is never free.

Such a simple picture. The Empty chairs could be said to be symbolic which makes it even more poignant.

[Margaret Pengelly]

Your message is reflected so perfectly in the image. Great shot.

[Cindy McFarland]

Love your pov and the sentiment.

Nobody rocking on these chairs. I see so many flags about. The American people are so loyal.

[Babs]

A lovely simple picture, but a wonderful tribute.

[Chris Johnson]

Excellent repetition of the chairs and their shadows.

[Rachel]

I like that the stripes in the flag are mirrored in the shadows on the chairs. Have a lovely holiday.

One of the many things I find exemplary about the US is the honour bestowed on your Veterans. Perfect capture for the day.

[Shy Abel]

Hope you had a happy one :)

[CC Folk]

Lovely!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

So sad for the people that have lost their lives in the wars. Beautiful tribute.

@grammyn Reminds me of that Les Miserables song, Empty Chairs and Empty Tables.
