you have a very good eye Ken! i grew up in the shadow of the Point. Granny worked at NOSC.
I've always been stunned by the sheer number of headstones....

Yes, I can see how that would be a sobering experience. A number is just a number but when you see the headstones it turns that number into something
tangible. I remember seeing the Viet Nam Memorial for the first time. I had no idea what 58,195 meant until I saw those names carved in stone. It
gives me the shivers just thinking about that moment of realization again. I like the first photo a lot.

I spent over 20 years living in Pt. Loma .. these are some lovely shots of a sad and sobering place.
