Far from home, but getting closer all the time

I know this picture isn't much to speak of in the artistic sense. I didn't actually take the original picture (I'm in it), just the one of the print. But there is a sense of homecoming while still being far from home's location. This was my brother's first return from Afghanistan, and I met him in Baltimore before he continued on to his US base (and proposed to his girlfriend!) and I returned to my dissertation research.
