Arizona Memorial


Double your looking pleasure with this reflection of the Arizona Memorial. It really is a moving experience to visit such an historic place in person. I definitely recommend it if you have the chance.

Note on the architecture: The designer of the memorial stated that it sags in the middle to represent the difficult times the US went through during WWII but the edges sweep up to the sky to represent our eventual victory.


Happy weekend! To see more reflections from around the world, click on the weekend reflections link.

  2. So that's what the memorial looks like! There was no way to tell with your photo yesterday. ;)

    Very interesting shape. Of course, I want to ask the architect why it's shaped that way. ;)

    Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Halcyon!

  7. This is really a neat reflection, the white and the blues blended well! I've been here in the early 2000 but would like to come back.

  12. Despite «Louis'» interest in World War II history, particularly WWII Naval history, «Louis» has not been to Hawaii and thus has never seen the Arizona memorial.
