Australia Day by onewing

Australia Day

I wondered what type of photo to put together for Australia Day today and came up with the idea of making this collage of some of the people I have photographed over the last few years on 365, hope you like it.


We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

Check out the link below of this song written and performed by The Seekers.

January 27th, 2018  
Happy Australia Day to you too- interestingly, except for some of the costumes, the same could be said about the US too- perhaps many countries now. Fantastic collage!
January 27th, 2018  
Fabulous collage Babs. Strangely enough, I was watching a Utube clip last night and a live performance of the Seekers singing this song showed up as one of the selections down the RHS so when my original clip had finished, I watched it. I was going fine while Bruce Woodley was singing but when Judith Durham took over, the tears started. Buggar :-(
January 27th, 2018  
Great collage, song and all.
January 27th, 2018  
Great idea and collage!

It was a very hot day. We did wander into Nelson Bay to see the celebrations at Fly Point and the citizenship ceremonies but didn't stay long, it was too hot and humid.
As I put this collage together it brought back memories of the interesting people I have met and photographed over the last few years. Of course, I had to include Uncle Max Eulo didn't I Peter.
January 27th, 2018  
@terryliv You are just an old softie Terry. I agree the song is very emotional though.
January 27th, 2018  
That is very cool Babs. And Happy Australia Day to you!
January 27th, 2018  
fantastic collage, each portrait is so clear
January 27th, 2018  
Brilliant idea & a super collage...
January 27th, 2018  
Wonderful collage.
January 27th, 2018  
Such a wonderful idea to put together this very meaningful collage for Australia Day! Thank you for including the YouTube link for the song...I just listened to the entire song and by the end I had tears in my eyes. I hope you had a fantastic Australia Day, Babs! :-)
January 27th, 2018  
Wonderful collage
January 27th, 2018  
@onewing I have fessed up to that on a number of occasions Babs. It is not just the song itself but the purity of Judith Durham's voice. The combination of the two just gets me. Think I'll go and listen to it again. :-)
January 27th, 2018  
@onewing I shouldn't have done that. :-(
January 27th, 2018  
@terryliv Oh dear wring out the hankie and listen to it again.
January 27th, 2018  
Perfect
January 27th, 2018  
Fabulous collage. Hope you had a wonderful Australia day.
January 27th, 2018  
Brilliant way to capture the essence of your country. Love it!
January 27th, 2018  
As soon as I saw your collage I started singing that song. Brilliant interpretation of Australia Day, Babs.
January 28th, 2018  
@stray_shooter @lynnz @happysnaps @littleconnie @gaylewood @stiggle @louisanoffke @mandygravil @taffy @golftragic Thanks, I am a bit late replying again to this shot. As I put the collage together it really reminded me of some of the interesting people I have photographed during my time on 365. They are all such gorgeous characters and willing to pose for me.
January 28th, 2018  
@onewing Thank you so much for including the link, I've always been a big fan of Judith Durham's voice (not so much some of her other stuff).
January 28th, 2018  
a fabulous collage of the faces of Oz Babs
