Shadow Shot Sunday - Perspective

It is time for this week's Shadow Shot Sunday 2, and I am using a photo taken by Patti at an event last. A lifelong city resident and WW II veteran, Pasquale Battaglia, was posthumously recognized by U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Ansonia Mayor Dave Cassetti.

The ceremony honored Battaglia, who died in 2015 last year at 99, was in the aldermanic chambers at City Hall. In this photo that jumped at me upon first viewing it, I see a few shadows by the flags up front. For me, though, the gentleman being honored may have been of the past, today the past comes alive and is at the forefront - and the present at this moment is as far away as the distant past is normally.

(Or something like that...)
