I find shooting into the sun with infra red produces the most spectacular results. This memorial statue dedicated to the soldiers of World War I stands at the back of the Albert Hall in Launceston's City Park.

I never posted two versions of a similar photo before, but in this case, they are expressing two different feelings (from many I've had during the walk through the memorial). The light and mood were changing so dramatically every second.

Colorado College ~ Colorado Springs
In the depths of the Great Depression Colorado College built a long-awaited chapel that is considered one of the finest examples of Norman Romanesque architecture in the state. F. Edward Little, a member of the Class of 1935, recalled the importance of Shove Memorial Chapel to the college community during those hard economic times:
Shove Chapel was an elegant and expensive embellishment at a time when plain and frugal were the order of the day. Everyone was cutting back, cutting down, and closing up. There was open criticism about spending that much money, for that purpose, at that time. . . . Shove was just what was needed. It glowed as a jewel of hope when there were not many sparkling objects about. It promised something beautiful down the road. More info link below...

Massachusetts Central Railroad GP38-2 #1751 proudly displays the colors on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend as the crew of PA-2 walks the brakes on their inbound train from CSX in Palmer yard before heading North.
I know it's hard to believe but as is apparent in the photo, CSX is in fact starting trackwork in Palmer Yard and on the B&A.

They died for us, now we live for them.
Memorial day is a day in which we remember those who couldn't come home and who sacrificed everything to keep our flag flying.

I'm not one to really look back on the past with some rosy nostalgia, but my god we used to do signage SO much better than we do now.
Today, our signs are shitty vinyl that might survive a few years before they bleach and fall to tatters. The art is gone. Someone designs it on a computer and "prints" it on a vinyl cutter. I'm not saying it's easy and anyone can do it, but nobody a few decades from now is going to look at that sign and think "this is peak design!"
We complain about the 'enshitification' of the internet, but really, it's been happening in real life for much longer.

The Ashton Memorial is a folly in Williamson Park, Lancaster, Lancashire, England built between 1907 and 1909 by the millionaire industrialist Lord Ashton in memory of his second wife, Jessy, at a cost of £87,000.
Part of a memorial to Jan Palach, a 20 year old Czech student who self-immolated in January 1969 as a political protest against the Soviet Union's invasion and occupation of Czechoslovakia. The memorial, which consists of two sculptures, is called "The House of the Suicide and The House of the Mother of the Suicide." It is the work of an American sculptor and architect of Czech origin, John Hejduk (1929-2000).

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD
Since 2010, I've tried to do this post on Memorial and Veterans Day. I've missed a quite a few, but here are all of them: www.flickr.com/photos/jimfrazier/albums/72157714451554331

Day One of our special campaign to invite everyone to the Memorial of Christ's Death held on April 2nd. Countryside of southern Japan.
The National Park website states:
"The United States Marine Corps War Memorial represents this nation's gratitude to Marines and those who have fought beside them. While the statue depicts one of the most famous incidents of World War II, the memorial is dedicated to all Marines who have given their lives in defense of the United States since 1775."
