I would love to go back to that with a camera; it's a fascinating memorial. Unfortunately I'll have to do it solo as my wife does not care for things like that.

I need a road trip.

A great pic, a nice angle. I am curious, why chairs?

You can read about the Oklahoma City Memorial at widipedia and other sites. The chairs were the artist's choice to represent the 168 adults and children that were killed by the terrorist's bomb that destroyed the building.

The chairs are different sizes based upon adult or child. A child is represented by a smaller chair than the adults. The are positioned on the lawn in relation to which floor the were on at the time of the explosion. A beautiful memorial on such a tragic site and dark time in our history.
