Photography Monday: Arlington National Cemetery

Arlington National Cemetery is a place to honor, remember and explore.  Encompassing 624 acres, the impressive landscape serves as a tribute to the service and sacrifice of every individual laid to rest in these hallowed grounds.

The rolling green hills are dotted with trees that are hundreds of years in age.
