Situated in the heart of Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma City National Memorial is dedicated to the victims, survivors, and heroes of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The memorial consists of several parts, including the Field of Empty Chairs, the Reflecting Pool, and the Survivor Tree, each symbolizing different aspects of that tragic event. Photographers will find compelling subjects in the juxtaposition of the stark, geometric chairs against the soft, tranquil waters of the pool. The Survivor Tree, an American Elm that withstood the bombing, offers a symbol of resilience perfect for wide-angle or macro shots. For the best lighting, consider visiting during early morning or late afternoon. Note that this is a place of somber reflection; please exercise respect and sensitivity while capturing images.
