Challenge: Junque (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: Vehicles
Camera: Canon EOS-6D
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Location: Washington, D.C.

 This picture may not score well and for those of you who know what it is would consider it "DNMC". This is not "lighthearted glorification".

I went to the Newseum in Washington, D.C. This is a remnant of what was left of the radio tower atop of the Twin Towers. I gave a lot of thought to submitting this picture. I realized that the radio tower was constructed for mass communication and represents our right to freedom of expression and that even after the catastrophe the tower was still a form of communication. The message is that our first amendment rights can not be destroyed by acts of war. These brutal acts only strengthen our resolve.

Oh, these types of photos are my favorite. I love when images mean more than might at first be apparent.

Interesting story, but yes, the story is much more compelling.

This was one of my higher scores (70. But you are right - so much more interesting with the story. I actually thought it was the underside of a wrecked car.
