This week Australia and New Zealand celebrated ANZAC Day. My husband served in Vietnam with 5RAR C Coy. This year the Company was invited to lead the march in Portland Victoria Australia. It was also a chance for the “boys” to get together and it was an intimate group. Portland has a memorial garden for those that served and died in Vietnam and this is the focus of my image this week.
I used pdfa Bluebells texture to add some blue highlights to the dark granite and Jupiter Dust to give some fading and softness to the bamboo background.
Thank you for visiting and remember to visit Photo Art Friday to view other entries.
Cheers

Wonderful image, beautifully done.
I lost my brother to that war, you truly touched my heart.
Your photo shows a lovely spot to pause and reflect.
Lovely – the colors are wonderful! And that memorial garden is a wonderful tribute – it looks so serene and peaceful.
What a lovely tribute garden and your piece is equally as lovely. The tones you used are very peaceful.
great photo, and a great tribute . . .
What an inspired edit – putting touches of blue on the granite and having it reflect in the water! Just beautiful Kaylene. Gardens (and artful images of them!) are such a wonderful way to honour and remember.
Beautiful and great editing. Thanks for sharing.
