Lest We Forget
Catafalque party, Remembrance Day, Murwillumbah, NSW 2010
God of our fathers, known of old,
Lord of our far flung battle line,
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine,
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies;
The captains and the kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget!

On my trip to NZ in May 2010 I did a Landscape Photography Workshop with Mike Langford & Jackie Ranken of the Queenstown Center for Creative Photography (http://www.qccp.co.nz/). It was truky the highlight of my trip and I learnt a lot, mainly new ways to look at things, and the power of B&W. Here we are on our way to KInloch for the workshop.
Taken at the 25km marker on the Queenstown to Glenorchy Road, where we stopped to take some shots of Lake Wakatipu.

Snapped yesterday afternoon in the after school home and bus bustle, in the schoolyard next door to us, this boy was waiting for his parent to collect him. I was careful to get one that did not identify the child, I waited until he had his head down absorbed in his laptop.
It struck me how much things have changed, while I waited for the bus after school I used to read a book!

Season’s Greeting to all my blog friends
My annual effort at ‘Photoshop art’ placing images of all our cats into a Christmas scene. And the Santa is my partner Warwick when he ‘did’ Santa in 1984 at Coffs harbour’s Park Plaza – it entailed a lot of layering to get this right!
