As you can see there were many other people here the day we visited (hundreds). When I see this picture I am reminded of how loud the silence was among these people as they experienced the powerful presence of this place. There was no laughter, no cell phone conversations, only an occasional hushed comment between family members or friends. At times it felt as if I was attending the wake of a dear loved one. The words that come to mind to describe the feelings of the visitors here are somber, reverent and shocked.
