as Lee says, you have dispalyed the details, so it should be fine. However, it is always worth posting a link to the original site to credit the source. In this case I believe it originally came from: http://photography.nationalgeographi...otography.html And it really is a very beautiful photograph.

You're Top Poster: #4  | I believe we are off to photo some memorials this weekend so long as the weather holds. I'll pop up as much as I can. And in 4 hours I collected £147.

Usually difficult to get up in front of a crowd. Well done!
__________________ Spidge, ------------------------------------------------------- My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #27 | Spidge we estimated about 150 which is a big improvement over what we were getting when I first became involved in organising it. Back then (1999) we were lucky to get 10-15 people but the significance lies not in numbers but in their sincerity. Good to see an increasing and growing interest as it is with Anzac Day. It's a wonder those attending could hear me over my knees knocking lol. Public speaking is a task I'd much rather listen to than deliver Rod |
