Oklahoma City National Memorial, Part 3: The Fence
This is the last in the series of photos that I took at the Oklahoma City National Memorial two weeks ago. This event affected so many people in so many ways. I hope through these pictures I was able to convey some of those feelings.

2 astute observations :
makes me remember the memorial we have in bs as for the victims of last year´s fire.
It´s interesting how people always have to commemorate their loved ones in this way
It's complicated to be sure, but I think a main reason is this, and that is that when someone is lost in that way, it is unexpected, it is quick, and it is final. Whether it's a car crash, or fire, or bombing, a relative or loved one who you wished a good day just hours ago is now irrevocably lost. In a way, people leave commemorences in an attempt to somehow make that last connection. Perhaps in a way there is guilt because they weren't there. All that and much more, I'm sure.
