 The Indiana World War Memorial in downtown Indianapolis. The interior of this building is gorgeous -- and the upper level is the best kept secret in Indiana. Just a beautiful tomb-like room with gorgeous engravings and structures.

A couple of my best friends were married here.

"Pro Patria" translates as: "On behalf of one's native land." It's inscribed at the base of the statue in front of the building, and I thought it was appropriate for this submission.

The angle of the building takes away from the shot... for me anyway. Nice shot apart from that.

Nice clean, clear crisp shot. Good color light. I don't like the crop/composition.
