Nicely done. I think the third from the left is my favorite, because
it best communicates the scope of this scene. You might try shooting
it from an even closer camera position with a wider lens.

This is subtitled "The Crosses of Lafayette."
I am very proud of Lafayette. I grew up there, and it is the next
town over.
Some years back an ordinary citizen started erecting crosses on
private
land, to symbolize the fallen US soldiers in Iraq. It's been a lot
of work, but
they have kept the count up-to-date and accurate.
Yes, it started as, and remains, a peace thing. But over the years
it has
also become a memorial with people adopting crosses for their loved
ones, and
decorating them. So it now serves two purposes, which aren't
really, far
apart. (If you want to read more about it there is a link on the
gallery index
page.) It covers a hill, a lot of a hill, and is directly across
from the Bart
(Bay Area Rapid Transit) station, so a lot of people have seen it.
It's rather
impressive, actually.
I went over in the dying light yesterday and took some pictures.
I've been
meaning to do it for years.

Comments welcome. If you like any one (or several) in particular, I
wouldn't
mind hearing about it.
