War Memorial  by dide

War Memorial

April 25th is ANZAC Day in NZ. Today, in Blenheim, the white crosses were placed next to the War Memorial clock tower, ready for the commemorative service in the morning. It was moving to see them being carefully placed row by row.
Powerful image how the crosses are lit up.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

An absolutely beautiful, evocative image - Fav.

A wonderful capture of this very beautiful memorial set up. I too noticed set ups for ANZAC day out and about, mostly shades and seats were being set up. I too will be attending a service tomorrow. :)

One of my uncles from Marlborough was killed in Italy in WWII so it is especially nice to see this shot. Lovely POV and lighting.
