The View, by Thomas Lianos

The monument of Battle of Nations near Leipzig Germany, is the biggest monument in Europe. On middle level there are a series of internal balconies when a saw these two people admiring the view outside through the window. Probably a father was explaining to his son a bit of history of this place. Very touching, as it reminded me similar moments with my son. I waited till I had their figures clear against the contrast light of the outside and I took the shot. With exposing on the window, all building interior is black.
