Lest We Forget
This lovely richly coloured sunset scene was photographed at the Cenotaph on the Town Green in Port Macquarie, NSW, Australia, late on a mid-autumn day, long after a wreath laying ceremony and service to commemorate the fallen in The Battle of the Coral Sea during WWII.
I was very taken by the side-lit poppies, (Papaver rhoeas – Flanders Poppy), the muted autumn sky, the light/shadow play over the column and wreaths and the mood this created to match the solemnity of what had happened here only hours before.

G’day Tammy,
Your very encouraging “Wonderful…” wrap for my remembrance poppies is most appreciated.
I find I become very, very solemn while making shots of this nature and really need a “brighten-up” after it. The older I get the more my emotions come to the surface. 8-)
