Changing of the guards



8x10" acryllic on masonite

This is from a photo I took at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington DC of the changing of the guard.

What struck me is the man on the left is older and a little hunched over in his walk. The man on the right is sprite and upright, and has a naiivite in his step and crispy uniform. The older man is in the shadow, the younger man in the light. A true changing of the guard, very deep isn't it?
