Libingan ng mga Bayani
Robert "Bob" Francis Kennedy
Ito ay kuha nung nakaraang taglamig sa Virginia Arlington Cemetery. Libingan ng mga nasawing sundalo at iba pang mga importanteng tao sa US. Sa di kalayuan ng unang litrato ay nakalibing ang pamilya Kennedy (JFK, dalawang anak at ang yumaong asawa na si Jackie O). Ang libingan ng kapatid na si Bob ay nahiwalay sa di masyadong magara na landmark (kompara sa kay JFK na may enternal flame). Base na rin eto mismo sa hiling ni Bob sa nabubuhay pa.
Note: JFK Jr. and his wife were cremated and his ashes were spread somewhere else.
Added (later):
The image above was taken using a Canon Ixuss. As of now I don't have a good Photo Editor, still saving some cash to get one so I am using what comes with Mac Os X Computer, iPhoto, there isn't much you can do really. The first image I under expose it one click to make the trees and the tombstones pop out a little bit. The second image I changed to BW but it doesn't look that way. ANYWAY, it was quite overwhelming being in that place. While I was there a funeral was in service of one casualty from Iraq. It made the visit even more desolate plus it was really cold, minus zero. JFK's grave (38 52'53.51"N 77 04'17.38"W) quite grand as it was on a hill almost overlooking the mall, the capitol and all those landmarks in DC. Then there is this eternal flame. His brother's grave (38 52' 52.13"N 77 04' 17.94"W), Bob, pictured here, is not too far from JFK's. JF Kennedy is one of the only US presidents buried in Arlintong, most of the US Presidents are buried in their home state.

Nakakalungkot talaga ang araw na ito. Karamihan ay mga sementeryo. Sana ay masaya na ang mga bayaning nakalibing dyan.
Maligayang Huwebes sa yo!

malungkot nga sa lugar na yan. kahit ikaw ay bagong turistang unang beses pa lamang nakarating dyan, ramdam mong tatahimik ka rin at makikiramay sa mga puti.
maligayang huwebes sayo!
Salamat sa mga comments. I added more infos in my post for better description. Medyo may kakulangan ako sa Tagalog Language as it is not my mother tongue. Allow me to do it English.
great shots! i love all your shots! keep it up! have a great day..

lalong pinalungkot ang larawan ng snow.
nakakalungkot na nga ang klima dahil winter, sadyang malungkot din ang alaala ng libingan na yan dahil sa mga sundalong nagbuwis ng kanilang buhay :(
napa kalungkot naman yan at ang abo ikinalat pa.
ang ganda ng kuha, may history lesson pa :)
