Veterans Memorial Circle

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 11 November 2024 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Veterans Memorial Circle stands as a serene tribute to our fallen, with its large water fountain at the center, gracefully sending shoots of water skyward. The surrounding landscaping, meticulously arranged, blends greenery with colorful foliage, framing the scene with natural beauty. Under the evening sky, the soft hues of twilight—blue and pink—create a mesmerizing backdrop, backlighting the Stars and Stripes. The sounds of the splashes from the fountain add a sense of calm to the bustle of the roundabout, turning the entire setting into a tranquil moment of reflection.

Happy Veterans Day!

A beautiful tribute Steven. We must not forget all those who have died over the years to protect their country or help other countries. I have great respect for the American people and all the countries that helped France during the wars on our territory.

Magnificent photo. Looks more peaceful when there is no one around and the pink sky is a nice bonus.

I spent many an hour as a teen (before driving) hanging around the eight corners. There was a grill with fountain drinks and a gas station down Maple that was welcoming. But (if I remember correctly), there was just a patch of flowers in the middle. Thanks for the memories.
