We are in the early days of Autumn here and come April it will be time once again to remember ANZAC Day. Back when we lived in Tauranga I was stuck in a traffic jam one afternoon and took this photo of the war memorial with the pink Rhododendron tree in the background. I think it looks like a pretty scene.
The plaque on the brick wall says: "They whom this scroll commemorates passed out of the sight of men by the path of duty and self sacrifice giving up their own lives that others might live in freedom. Let those that come after see to it that their names be not forgotten". - HM King George V

Beautiful photo, Amy.
That rhododendron is a gorgeous sight.
Great inscription too
I am a bit reminded of a war memorial here.
Oh, it´s the time again?
I have a sachet of poppies right here on the wall - 100th anniversary of Gallipoli - Legacy, a pressie from a Perth-friend.
It is from 2015, the Australian Prime Minister attended the celebration of the ANZACs Day with a poppy on his tux.
Your pic is very beautiful, too, sometimes it´s great to "get stuck".
Interesting.
It is a pretty scene and those words are beautifully composed.
...impressive, but the rhododendron is what caught my eye! Thanks Amy for sharing.
Lovely shot!
It's a beautiful photo and a very important commemoration. (And an excellent place to be stopped in a traffic jam; I am never near anything interesting.)
