Cemetery. Fort Irwin California. September 1, 2013.
One of my most favorite images for September 1 was taken at Fort Irwin, California, home of the National Training Center for the U.S. Army. We were driving across town when I spotted an unusual cemetery. Names like Simba and Cubby aren’t typical for a cemetery.
I asked what this cemetery was for. I was told it was right behind the place where dogs are trained for military service. The cemetery is for dogs who have given their lives in service to our country. I found that deeply moving.
I put my camera low to the ground so the top of the closest cross would stand out against the blue sky.
Autumn on the Taiga. Denali National Park, Alaska. September 1, 2000.
This is my other most favorite image for this date. This small spruce tree stands out boldly against the orange and red taiga colors in Denali National Park.
