[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today is ANZAC day, a very significant day for Australian and New Zealanders, a day we remember the sacrifice made by so many. One of the most significant events of the day is the dawn service, dawn being the time when the ANZACs landed on the beaches in Gallipoli and created one of the most historic events in Australia's history.
One of the many parts of the dawn service is the laying of wreaths by the Stone of Rememberance. This photo was taken several hours later. It is good to see such fantastic colour on a day remembering dark times years past.

Well composed. A nice record of the day..

Love the colours and the fact that after so many years we are still turning up every year to honour those who died.

Hello Stephen
The traditional piece of granite, not much to repay all the lives lost, but at least it is a reminder.

Very good capture depicting the moment, the sun shining on the assortment of flowers pretty much in focus, and that red cluster of roses draws the eye to the sky which usually represents heaven, is worthy of praises.

I don't know why you don't have many people commenting other than it is a reminder and not easy for many to see this, and comment.
