Yes Cal, the names of all servicemen and women who died in all our wars are listed along two arched walkways. Staff will research and print a map with the position of the name and you can then buy a poppy to place next to the name. It is a very moving experience to see all those names, so many poppies, so many lives lost. I have two World War 1 relatives there. H
that's OK n1w I don't know who I am today, I'm having trouble adapting to change!!!! The arches also reflect into a pool which looks great.
Hi Jean, thanks, it is a beautiful building, you can see above the map some other images and it is in direct line with our new and old Parliament Houses. H
A beautiful and very moving photo H. It must give the living relatives of WW1 and WW2 casualties a sense of comfort, as well as reminding us all of the tragedy of war.
Thanks Amelia It is a moving experience to search for a long lost relative who died and is buried overseas and to be able to place a poppy next to their names. Hello to you from Melbourne. Helen
...thanks whoelius - it is quite a sombre experience walking along this wall with so many thousands of names of war dead, but the sun and shadow certainly caught my eye...thankyou for the compliment. Helen
Helen - I guess whenever I looked at this page before, there was a fresh comment I haven't wanted to rudely bump up. So I really do owe you a comment about what a stunning catch I also think this is, with the line of the arch shadows and the poppies. Interestingly, it has a very Asian feel to it.

Great shot, with the shadows of the arches, the poppies makes it a moving photo, and adds colour to the memorial wall. D.
Very nice composition here H and a great subject.
Very interesting. Do family come and leave poppies by their loved ones name?
Cal I think thats what happens, I havent been, but I am sure H will answer that one for you. Cheers, Dianne

You've clearly got the natural knack for composing a photo, Inspector. I love your stuff.

Good eye Helen. This photo looks much more like painting. Very attractive!
