I wanted to post a shot to commemorate remembrance day, but was not able to attend my local service today, so I’m going with a shot from the archives.
62,000 poppies – Back in 2018 the Australian War Memorial was surrounded by 62,000 poppies to represent each Australian killed in WW1. The poppies were knitted & crocheted by volunteers from all over Australia, and then placed around the War Memorial to commemorate the centenary of the signing of the Armistice. It was a truly magnificent sight to see.
Lest we forget.
I have posted a very similar shot to this one previously, but this shot having a slightly lower pov.
Beautiful memorial. So many lives lost on both sides of the war. And still humans have not learned the lesson as wars keep on going and innocent people lose their lives daily.
