The Holocaust Memorial

I would be driving around Miami Beach and I would always see the sculpture of a giant hand. I had lived in Miami my whole life but never took the time to see it.

One day I was short with ideas of what to photograph so I went to the location where I would always see the giant hand just for a few shots to add to my portfolio. The second I entered I realized what this please was. It was a Holocaust Memorial. Really not knowing the rules of shooting in a place like this I ask the security guard that was working at that time if it would be OK if I would take a few shots around the location. Very politely he said yes and handed me a brochure.

I have no words to describe how impress I was with this Memorial . I am not Jewish but you didn't have to be to feel how intense of a feeling I got from just being there and looking at the statures. The expression on the sculptures were amazing so life like. The pool around the memorial is so peaceful and beautiful, with flowers floating on the water. To conclude I would recommend this Memorial to anybody that needs to be inspired. I would like to take amazing photography.  But in reality I went it to this location for just a free good shots, But in stead I left with a lot more....
