the entrance to the walkway that leads you down along the wall.

Hi Aron,
Better still, take a shot showing the sign and people taking pictures
anyway.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to have this magnificent memorial off
limits for pictures. I mean this is the only memento of a lost son,
daughter, father and or other family members that many people have.

I'm sure the "no pictures" must be an error. But if you are there and can
confirm the "No pictures" or not sign, it would be interesting to know. And
an absolute shame that some lame brain bureaucrat decided so.

Pictures do not desecrate the sanctity of the site whatsoever.

Thanks,
ted
