Flowers left as a memorial on a bench in the churchyard at Church Lawton, Cheshire.
I wanted this to look like a Photorealism painting, so it's 3/4 HDR and a tad over-sharpened.

"The Curlwaa Mechanicsâ Institute was opened in the early 1900s. The Mechanicsâ Institute term was dropped fairly early and it was generally known as the Curlwaa Hall. After the Second World War the original outdoor WW I monument was dismantled, as it had become a traffic hazard. The hall had become quite rundown and was renovated to become the Curlwaa Memorial Hall, which was officially opened in 1958. Panels were mounted either side of the main door recording the names of those who had died in the First and Second World Wars respectively. The original Honour Rolls recording all who had served were retained in the Hall."

The monument is located at the Atocha Train Station (Madrid, Spain) in memorial of the 191 victims of the 11th March 2004 Madrid terrorist attack. The inside of the white tower holds some of the thousands of messages of condolence made in the days after the train bombings.
Merchant seafarers war memorial and pierhead building. The memorial, designed by Brian Fell is one of my favourites, a hull of a ship from one side, this face from the other.
I've seen lots of other lovely photos of this memorial and thought a way to learn would be to replicate those. These are my attempts, and I'm quite happy with the results. I'd like more red from the pierhead building, the software I used (called Fusion) doesnt bring much colour unfortunately (but is free!). I'd also like to work out how to hide the lampost sticking out from behind the memorial, or how to better angle the camera so this doesnt clash, but thats for next time!

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin is a vast field of 2,711 concrete slabs arranged in a grid pattern. It is designed to evoke a sense of disorientation and unease, reflecting the experience of the Holocaust victims. The memorial serves as a powerful reminder of the atrocities committed during World War II and honours the memory of the six million Jews who were killed.
Before taking the day off of building the new I-74 bridge as a Memorial Day salute, all the cranes were turned to face east and a large flag was raised.

The Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, or the Holocaust Memorial as it is commonly known, is a series of blocks of varying height on undulating ground near the Brandenburg Gate. It was designed by Peter Eisenmann and Buro Happold. It opened to the public in 2005.
The cold slabs, stained with rain while I was there, coffin like in their floor dimensions but rising higher in the middle are extremely thought provoking and a moving experience.
Some new stuff from today. This time some heavy black & white processing.

Today is a day to remember those US service men and women who lost their lives in service to the US. It is an extension of various Decoration Days begun in the Southern US during and after the War Between the States and eventually was formalized as a national holiday. The use of the term Memorial Day had changed over time and was eventually also officially changed. My dad always called it Decoration Day. It was created to be on May 30th but was changed to the last Monday of May. Presumably to not interfere with the business week. This is also recognized as the start of the summer season. A very busy tourist weekend here in Maine.

We had a good view of the High Street on our way back from Petersfield Lake. Here, you can see the War Memorial and Square, and I snapped it as we waited to cross the old main road to Portsmouth. Now there is a fast bypass on the Portsmouth to London road (A3)
