History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial


The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall, accented by its' many articles of remembrance left daily, is photographed in a seemingly peaceful evening setting with the Washington Monument visible in the distance. Located in Constitution Gardens, adjacent to the National Mall and the Lincoln Monument, the wall was designed by landscape architect Maya Lin. The main section of the Memorial was completed in 1982, and currently lists 58, 627 names of soldiers who died, or were missing in action from the Vietnam War.
