Panoramic Photos of Dealey Plaza
By John Potter
I want to share some photos I shot while in Texas. I stopped by Dealey Plaza in Dallas where president John F. Kennedy was shot and killed on November 22, 1963. The photo above is taken from the same location as the famous, 26.6 second, “Zapruder film” most of us associate with the assassination. Now you can look all around from the same vantage point as Zapruder could on that day.
The second vantage point is behind the fence at the top of the grassy knoll, where conspiracy theorists think a second gunman may have been located. There is no grass on the shooter’s side of the fence making the “grassy knoll” title seem a little odd. The parking lot is now used by the Sixth Floor Museum located in the former Book Depository building where Lee Harvey Oswald is said to have taken the lethal shot.
