Good Morning Vietnam | Tuesday Sep 23, 2008
Actually, this was taken at sunset a couple of days ago as I was driving through Mineral Wells, Texas. This helicopter was used in Vietnam but is now on display at a memorial that is being built. A month ago a ceremony was held to 'hoist the Huey' helicopter upon this pole - details of that can be read here. No mention if they have reserved land nearby for an Iraq memorial to be built in forty years.

The same wars have been raging on for millenniums now between humankind but somehow we can't see the inaneness of their very foundation. All we do is kill that part of our self which doesn't feature the same appearances that we do.
Oh, sorry for becoming too verbose over there. But the photograph is really brilliant. In fact, its pretty symbolic too, hopefully of dusk drawing itself over battles.
