Yesterday while running off a set of prints for a friend I realized I'd be parking right across the street from the local Legion. Here in Canada we honour those who served on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Remembrance Day. I don't know how many other countries do it on that date, but thanks to the recent wars it's getting a lot more respect than ever before. As a token of my thanks I decided to run off a pair of 13 X 19 prints (without the watermark) of these & drop them off at the Legion, and maybe some of you might be able to do something similar.

Thank You. I should mention that the local Legion burned down just a few years ago & they lost everything in it, which I'm sure would include a lot of photos.

That's a top idea. And yes, we pause for Remembrance Day here in Australia as well.


Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.
