As we explore and wander, a common theme is occurring: we are not alone. Both near and far there are things that we as a human race do not understand and can’t even begin to know.
In Washington, DC we marveled at the exhibits of the National Air and Space Museum. Most notably, the images from the Hubble Telescope absolutely make one question their existence in time and place of such a vast universe. We are but a speck. The next day we were in Baltimore at the National Aquarium and witnessed close up otherworldly creatures that existed before us and will continue on after us. The awesome exhibits of Dinosaurs that roamed the earth millions of years ago at the American Museum of Natural History in New York left us speechless.
The amount of things we don’t know and won’t know and can’t experience and can’t comprehend... is a bit overwhelming. Yet a sense of happiness sweeps over us as we accept our role. How fantastic that we are able to exist in this reality, together.
This fun and artistic travel photography was created at The Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC, American Museum of Natural History in New York, NY, and at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, MD.
We rolled into the nation's capital just as the festivities of Memorial Day were kicking off. We saw beautiful architecture, awe inspiring monuments, and memorials that are truly moving. At Arlington National Cemetery we were thrilled to be part of a ceremony at the Women’s Memorial where we heard different woman from each branch of Armed Forces discuss what Memorial Day means to them. They told personal stories of friends and family lost, of honor, and of integrity. They whispered fallen soldiers names as their voice began to crack while they paid tribute. We went on to see a ceremony in which the children of a recently interred soldier honored their father at the tomb of the unknown. Countless headstones, all aligned perfectly from any angle, rolled on for miles. These are the experiences we will take with us on our journey of life.
These images were created in Washington, DC at the Arlington National Cemetery, The Woman's Memorial, The Vietnam Veterans Wall, The Korean War Memorial, The Lincoln Memorial, WWII Memorial, and The Washington Memorial.
