WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Big

this is my entry to the 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Big    

An aircraft carrier.

“I hear the great drums pounding,

And the small drums steady whirring;

And every blow of the great convulsive drums,

Strikes me through and through.

…     …

“The moon gives you light,

And the bugles and the drums give you music;

And my heart, O my soldiers, my veterans,

My heart gives you love.”

                                                                 – Walt Whitman

(i hope it’s ginormous enough for the theme: Big.)

[this is not to glamorize any kind of armada (i don’t like wars)  — but World War II was a just war. my photo-post for the WordPress theme is a homage to the heroes of that war.]
