The Grassy Knoll, Dallas, TX

After living in the DFW area for several years, I finally decided to make my way to the infamous grassy knoll. In case you have lived under a rock for the past few decades, the grassy knoll is where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The street where he was shot is marked by two X's each representing each shot fired. After parking my car, I got out to stake out the area to find an interesting viewpoint to photograph from. As I was looking around, I found it somewhat surreal to see the tourists that came to see the spot where a man was killed. They stood on the grassy knoll posing for their picture with the two X's in the background. Others would brave the traffic to stand at the exact the spot where JFK met his end, turn towards a camera, and smile as if posing next to their favourite ride. I don't really know where I am going with this, other than that it all seemed so strange. Any ways, this is the image I came away with. I hope you enjoy.
