My Dad's medals from the Second World War in which he served in the Royal Navy. The picture of him was taken during WW2.
The frost at the farm spared the roses, thankfully. The Gold Medal bush hasn't looked better, and has the most blooms yet.
This is the Gold Medal rose bush at the farm, with a fading Apricot Candy blossom in the background. They both smell very good.
This is the Monte Cassino Commemorative Cross awarded to my father. This medal was awarded to all Polish II Corps soldiers who fought in the battle of Monte Cassino in Italy during May 1944. The serial number on the reverse of this medal (14041) confirms he was in the 11th Signals Battalion. The medal was photographed suspended against a background sheet of brushed stainless steel. Several LED torch lights were used to create the colours and highlights.
Many thanks for all views, fav's - and particularly comments - all are greatly appreciated!
Happy Macro Mondays to you all!

Race medal with stars and the old "aluminum foil bokeh" trick.
Just under 2" across from the far edge of the H to the far edge of the A.
The military medal is the third highest bravery award, this one was won by my Great Uncle, William Hewit in Cambrai France on the 26th of September 1918. He was a driver in the Royal Field Artillary, ( the guns were horse drawn then) The notes on his recomendation are as follows. "On the night of sept 26th/18 at Cambrai being the leading driver in the team, showing great skill and courage when under very hevy shell fire and got through safely. My dad also mentioned he may have also killed a sniper but I coud find nothing in the records about that.
The new Gold Medal rose bush was droopy when I arrived at the farm today, as it needed water. Its petals are still saggy in this photo.
The ribbon of the 2020 virtual New York City Marathon. I had a great time running the virtual marathon in 2020 and I'll be running the real thing in 2022, so this medal makes me smile :)
"Eventually, Why not now?"
Another slide show result of Swiss artist Gerry Hofstetter.
This spectacular show was seen by only a few and I saw only a couple of people taking photos so I thought I'd post a second one. There were over a dozen slides shown on the elevators depicting Minnesota's grain and General Mills history.
According to the artist's publicist, Sara Sterling;
"Gold Medal flour, its workers, machinery and the Milling district of Minneapolis were highlighted by Swiss light artist Gerry Hofstetter.
Minnesota was added to the "light Art Grand Tour USA"
The artist travels the world "transforming monuments and landscapes into light art sculptures for a short moment in time as a way to highlight their history and importance to the world"
The light show also illuminates the friendship between Switzerland and the United States.

Near Berea, KY
These unusual rock formations are found near the West Pinnacle at Indian Fort Mountain. Maybe Berea should host the Olympic Games sometime in the future.
