The shots I used yesterday for actual Anzac Day were taken last year, the shots here I took as dawn broke yesterday morning. Getting up at 4am in time to get to Kings Park, find a parking and a good spot to watch the service wasn't easy after three hours sleep, I really must get to bed earlier :) I think I have said before that standing with thousands of others, the silence broken only by the sound of the pipes as the wreathes are laid and the bugle as it plays the Last Post is quite a surreal experience.. even the young children seem to sense the solemnity of the event. I wonder, like most what this year will bring. Happy Thursday, take care and stay safe..
That would be profoundly moving. Beautifully photographed.
ReplyDeleteThose are spectacular photographs and certainly worth getting up early for and we thank you! I can imagine how solemn and emotional this event would have been.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you buy your Tesla!

Beautiful photos for a touching memorial service. Well done, Grace.
ReplyDelete...impressive!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots. That sort of event really gets me bawling.
ReplyDeleteLove that memorial.. It is beautiful the way it is lit, and the second one with the lasers is really spectacular. Must be even better being there in person, especially with the pipes.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a challenge to get up hours before schedule when not done in steps over a few days or weeks.
Terrific photos and as I well remember, it is a beautiful setting for such a moving ceremony.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Grace. I can feel the solemnity through your photos.
ReplyDeleteThis second shot is absolutely magical. Well Done!! I appreciate you waking up early and patently waiting for this moment in time. YES!!

ReplyDeleteWhat an impressive experience that must be. Wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing experience it must be. I've never made the effort to wake up that early to go and watch but I should do it one day. The photos are amazing Grace!
ReplyDeleteThank you for getting up so early. These are beautiful. Hope you got a nap later in the day :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Grace. Such a moving experience.
ReplyDeleteHow very lovely and touching.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! Is there a reason the ceremony is at that time of day? When we celebrate Remembrance Day in Canada we have a moment of silence at 11am.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lights! Arianna
