Description
When I visited the Arlington Cemetary in Washington DC a couple of year ago, I was deeply touched by this - the grave of the unknown soldier. The incription on the tomb reads:
HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER.
KNOWN BUT TO GOD.
I learned that there is a guard on duty 24 hours per day. I was priviledged enough to actually also see the changing of the guards.
Thank you for stopping by.
Hugs, Carin xx

Fabulous image Carin! Splendid use of the isolated color! Interesting too, seeing my country thru someone else's eyes!
Powerful image and great presentation. The selective coloring adds quite an extra dimension here. The guard is a nice touch as well.
You captured a feeling! Well done!
Yes, I thought I recognized this. Excellent use of selective coloring.
I know I repeat what others have written but this is really a perfect use of the selective color technique !
