About the Image(s)

Description:

This photo was captured in August when I visited Kinmen Island, which was once a major battleground between Taiwan and the PRC. I was stationed on the island for one year, from 1973 to 1974, and this past summer was my first visit since I left in 1974.

I was drawn to the scene by the mist surrounding the 3.5-mile-long bridge crossing the narrow strait between Great Kinmen and “Little” Kinmen Island, as well as the defensive barriers on the beach.
