It's a Monumental Day by ladymagpie

It's a Monumental Day

365 days ago I published my first photograph on this project, little did I know how this would have an effect on my life. I was, as many of you were, a complete novice and when I look back at some of my early efforts I can see how I've changed.

A year on and I can't go anywhere without my camera, that almost including the bathroom. I have made several friends including a dear one across the Atlantic who I talk to now each week. I have improved my camera and have a following on Facebook, thank you all.

As for the capture today, this is Selsley Memorial that is close to my home. It clings to the hillside and remembers those local villagers that gave their lives in war, how ironic that this year is the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the 1st World War.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the picture.
just started this and looking forward to the journey so glad yours was so great. great shot !!!
