Pentagon Memorial Lit Up at Night

The Pentagon Memorial is designed so that the nation may remember and reflect on the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. The Memorial will be free and open to the public seven days a week.

The photo is a time-exposure; the streak in the sky is a plane taking off from Reagan National Airport. Each of the lit benches represents a person who was killed in the event, whether on the plane or on the ground. Learn more about the Memorial at http://www.whs.mil/memorial/

Newlyweds in Thames Town, China

via blogs.sacbee.com

Thames Town is the English name for a new town in Songjiang, about 30 km from central Shanghai, China and situated on the Yangtze River. It is named after the River Thames in England, the United Kingdom. The architecture both imitates and is influenced by classic English market town styles. There are cobbled streets, Victorian terraces, corner shops - empty as in an abandoned film set. Some of the architecture has been directly copied from buildings found in England, including the church (copied from one in Clifton, Bristol) and a pub and fish and chip shop (copied from buildings in Lyme Regis, Dorset). The picturesque church and main square makes an idyllic backdrop for many Chinese Wedding photos. -- Wikipedia
