Watching the ANZAC parade 2009 (Part 1)

This was my second watching the ANZACs as they marched through St. Kilda Road, to the Shrine of Remembrance. It’s a parade which represents a mix of emotions – solemnity, a remembrance of those fallen, an affirmation of those who came back.

We see the drummer boys and girls

children and grandchildren accompanying the marchers

and waving the flag

Of course, the March Marshalls have their hands full coordinating movements. Some have to actively point out where to stand

And someone else has to tick it off as done.

In the end, you get some incongruous combinations

The little guy with the bagpipes

Watch out for Part 2…

My first Closr Widget

Closr is an interesting photo hosting service. You can upload a large JPEG and it will absorb it and create an Adobe Flash widget. This widget shows you a thumbnail - you can see it bigger or even full screen - it's zoomable and it drip feeds to your browser. Have a look at my first try.
