Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park
Posted on | June 10, 2009 | 4 Comments

Chapel and US Flags at Vietnam Veterans Memorial State Park, Angel Fire, New Mexico
Heading up to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial turned out to be my best decision of the entire trip. It just felt right to photograph this on Memorial Day weekend. The only other person there was this vet who I spoke with briefly. He seemed like a real nice guy. Neither of us realized that the chapel was open 24 hours so that was kind of a bummer to find out later but this was definitely a great morning to be out and about. It is not hard to wake up at 4:30 a.m. when you are near a place like this.

Wow, Richard. Really nicely done. The clouds opening to blue sky above the memorial adds a great feeling. Looks like you had a great getaway trip.

Thanks Gary. New Mexico has some really great scenery particularly around Taos.

Its a stunning camera angle capturing those spectacular colors in the sky. The colors in the sky matching the walkway is beautiful.
