COMMANDO MEMORIAL

SPEAN BRIDGE, SCOTLAND

I haven't posted to my PaD for a little while, and I wanted to get back to it with a topical shot. Granted it was taken LAST november 11th, but it is still topical :-)

This was taken at the Commando Memorial above Spean Bridge in Scotland. It looks out over the rugged Scottish highland terrain, that was the training ground of the commandos in WW2. The shot was taken shortly after last years memorial service had ended, fortunately without being spoiled by the rain which arrived shortly after I took the shots.

I have just started uploading the shots I took during that week, including more of the memorial. If you are interested, please check out my 'Scotland in November' gallery.

All comments are welcome, I am always interested in viewers opinions of my work. Thanks.

A really powerful image. The sombre sky, the bold men, the red poppies....

Fascinating and well done. The brooding clouds add to the depth of mourning and honor, and the red poppies are a excellent counter-tone.
