A really well-composed and timely shot Wendell. Especially how the statue is silhouetted against the sunlight.

A great reminder to us all Wendell. A good lesson in how to photograph statues.

Wendell - A fine tribute to the soldiers of Canada. The silhouette against the sunlit sky is fantastic. Thad

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

Hi, Wendell...

I'm a typical ignorant American. Actually I'm more ignorant than most, if not all, typical ignorant Americans. I had to look up Remembrance Day which as it turns out is sort of a Memorial Day for Commonwealth countries rather than Veteran's Day, which is today in the ol' U.S. Apparently both Veteran's Day and Remembrance Day celebrate the end of the poorly named" War To End All Wars".

While I was online, I was surprised to learn that Canada had a military although I did know that Canada was to our north since everyone complains about illegal aliens crossing our border to the south. Since everyone likes Canadians, apparently we don't care if you cross our northern border.

Typically I don't like photos of statues any more than I like statues of photos. I also don't typically care for music about statues or photos, photos or statues about music; and I can't stand dances about photos because those are the worst. Photos of dancers are okay in my book anytime.

Roger

P.S. If you can pull off a shot of the full sun behind a statue this well, you'll have no problem fixing a foggy sun behind a telephone pole.
