This is a memorial to the people who lost their lives in the bombings in Bali in 2002. Over looking Coogee Beach, Sydney.
Ari's comment prompted me to find out more about the sculpture:
It was designed by Sasha Reid.
The three linked figures in this sculpture signify family, friends and community. Bowed in sorrow and remembrance, they comfort, support and protect each other.
The figures also symbolise life, growth, hope and our strength in unity.
Individually, each figure could be easily toppled, but joined together they form a strong and supported whole structure.

All images had to be in Jpeg, No Post Processing, just one image per category, we had to return to our groups meeting place, the Great Wakering Royal British Legion Club by 3.00 pm.
The images were downloaded to our club laptop and were stored for judging by three independent judges, the results will be declared at our Photography Group meeting Monday 11th April 2022.
Around 1958 this Vista 3D screen was a Weetabix promotion, you had to cut the voucher from the cereal box and send it off in the post.
The cards were then added to the subsequent cereal boxes, these cards and viewers can still be found on on the usual internet sites.
Needless to say this is a cherished family artefact, my Grandchildren still love to look at the images today.
I am delighted to say this was voted in 1st place in this category.
I would like to express my thanks to my Daughter Helen our Photography Group Secretary and Organiser for all her hard work time and effort in running a fabulous set of challenges.

Because I don't want to can't anymore.
Yes, this is another outtake. Going through files before I put them on my external...
You can take a bite two times today ;))
... and remember without Pi ... none of us would be able to take photos and post on the internet ... none of it would exist. So take a second and celebrate its existence.
A view across the South Downs National Park at dusk.
This view reminded me of A E Housman's poem
"Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again."
...that the most beautiful things in the world are the most useless; peacocks and lilies, for example.
John Ruskin
