    Default They Died for Us

    A Memorial to the Australian and New Zealand Light Horse Brigade of 1916 - 1918. It's position on the hill above Albany, WA was chosen because it overlooks where the first Australian and New Zealand mounted troops left to fight in WW1.

    I like the sky in this shot MA.
    I know this isn't in crit' but.......
    I would've liked to see more of the statue and less of the monument because to me the sculpture looks a bit more interesting than the pedestal it sits on.

    Interesting that you posted both versions. They have such a different mood.
