A man looks at plaques honoring soldiers below a war memorial cross on Mount Soledad Tueday, Jan. 4, in San Diego. The cross , which sits in a San Diego public park, is unconstitutional because it conveys a message of government endorsement of religion, a federal appeals court ruled Tuesday in a two decade old case.

Judges rule cross at Calif. park unconstitutional

Photographer Gregory Bull moved the obligatory "straight" picture of the cross. But he also shot this complex, layered image of the plaques, combining the Star of David with the reflections of the cross and a visitor. A complex image for a complex story.

The Cross does not belong there any more than a Crescent or Star of David, or even a McDonald's arches

Individual graves should have their choice of symbols but there should not be any propaganda hogs trying to dominate the scene.
