I had a one track mind here. I really wanted the space to indicate, vaguely, the men and women who have died in subsequent wars to this, thus emphasizing the irony. Zeuszen's comment, below, is indicative of why this did not succeed as I had hoped. I was even blind to the rust spot and other weirdities. Thanks for your comments, if you did.
This ironic capture (literally) relies entirely on one monumentally incredible sentence. For this reason, the various details (texture, partial background etc.) included here are, IMO, redundant and distracting. I imagine this shot edited to the point of rendering the mere subject, i.e. the statement carved here and an idea of it being part of a monument, no more.
Yet, the irony found here is extreme, and this makes it a rare and, at least, somewhat successful shot.
