Sometimes on the way to work I ask B to stop so I can take random photos. This was 2 days ago near the center of town I couldn't help but notice the Spring blossoms in one of the nearby parks. The memorial in front is in honour and remembrance of the coal miners who passed away in the Pike River explosion on 19 November 2010. This memorial site was dedicated on the first anniversary by John Key who was the prime minister and the time and Tony Kokshoorn who was the district mayor along with family members in a private ceremony.
Linking up with Through my lens, Tuesday Treasures, My corner of the world and Wordless Wednesday.

Workplace casualty is always a tragedy.
Wow, what a powerful, yet simple memorial.
Spring blossoms look beautifully decorative.
A sad memorial. The spring flowers though are a beautiful surrounding
They deserve the perfect memorial for sure. (I ask B(ill) to stop pretty often too so I can take pictures! We are lucky that they are willing to do that aren't we?
Beautiful Spring blossoms and a lovely memorial for the miners who lost their lives.
...spring is a special season of renewal. Enjoy.
Great setting for such a poignant memorial.
Enjoy Spring! Sad memorial.
As your blossom is appearing on the trees our leaves are falling. Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons and I am grateful that a live in a country which experienced all four seasons.
What a delight it is to feel spring coming on.
Very poignant.
