Embracing Peace (Unconditional Surrender)
Embracing Peace, also known as "Unconditional Surrender," is a towering 25ft sculpture situated along the San Diego waterfront near the USS Midway Museum. Capturing the famous WWII era kiss between a sailor and a nurse, the statue makes a powerful subject for photographers drawn to large scale public art and historical themes. Its location provides excellent views of San Diego Bay, naval vessels, and passing boats, with opportunities for creative compositions and silhouette shots, especially during sunset. The area is pedestrian friendly, with nearby parking and plenty of space for both wide and close up framing. (San Diego, California, United States)
