2012.04.25 Anzac Day Sunlight

It is Anzac Day - 25th April 2012... I had grandparents that put their lives on the line for us, so in memory of them all...

The Ode

The Ode came from 'For the Fallen', a poem by the English poet and writer Laurence Binyon and was published in London in The Winnowing Fan: Poems on the Great War in 1914. The verse which became the League Ode was already used in association with commemoration services in Australia in 1921.

For the Fallen
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flash of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

There wasn't too much sun in the rise this morning, so it became about capturing the light and cloud formations as I saw them.

Enjoy...

2012.03.29 a sad sunrise from Currimundi Beach

Thursday 29th March 2012..... shattering news was heard y'day afternoon, Wed 28th March as a young 14yo Surf Life Saver was feared drowned off Kirra Beach whilst competing at the Aussie titles. We heard it was Matt Barclay. A myriad of emotions flowed, as we tried to comprehend this news... the devastation for his family and friends, as their lives will never be the same.

So I headed to the beach on Thursday morning to follow the sun, with young Matty and his family on my mind and in my heart, praying that he would be found.

Pondering... Parents are supposed to watch their children grow up & be successful in whatever they chose, enjoy their own families - and then look after us when we are frail, knowing we have all lived full & enriched lives. No words will ever help ease the pain, every corner you turn there is a reminder of what they could have been doing. There is always the 'bigger picture' but sometimes life can just be downright cruel :(

Namaste

2012.03.21 Sunrise over Currimundi Beach

Still waiting for that break in the sky, at 5:15am I could see a little streak of light in the sky from home so thought I'd try my luck... Milo (the dog) was extremely happy with my decision!

The sky had a few rips in its grey blanket which let a moment of light into the morning for me to complete my sunrise ritual, then I decided to just have a bit of a play with whatever else caught my eye...

Sunrise over Currimundi Beach

Once the sun passed through its first magic moment there wasn't a lot of colour in the skies, so I processed these few in some different shades of black and white...
