Historical Site in Dallas - JFK

A sad day in history.  The place where President John F Kennedy was shot, while passing Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas.  I felt the sadness and shock, even as a young child.

This car is where the President's limousine was when the shots were fired, from the orange brick building,
 6th floor window, just above the tree line on the far right.  The grassy knoll is on the left.  Dealey Plaza is on the right.

Sixth Floor window of the bookstore,
from which Harvey Lee Oswald shot JFK.
In visiting this site, I was surprised to realize how close everything was.  The pictures make the distance between the roads and buildings seem greater, but in fact, everything is within a few feet of each other.

View from the grassy knoll, just below the bookstore.
