Amber Waves of Grain


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   Amber Waves of Grain
Amber Waves of Grain
A few blades of grain dance gently in the late afternoon sunlight.

As a proud Veteran, I'd like to remind all BP members in the US to shake a vet's hand today and thank them for their efforts in keeping this great country "the land of the free and home of the brave"! Happy Veteran's DAy to all the vets, past and present!

Wonderful detail and DOF Don. Love the black b/g. How did you get that? Did you use flash? Beautiful composition!

  Great DOF here, Don. Happy Veterans Day to you and all the other veterans today! I was with a gentleman who landed on the beach at Normandy 61 years ago. The stories are captivating and sad as well.

  WONDERFUL image as a tribute to all your Veterans over there, Don...including yourself! The sunlit grain stands out so beautifully against the black background! :o)

Here Downunder we had a similar day today - what we call Remembrance Day - when special services are held at 11:00am...

~ 11 o'clock on the 11th day of the 11th month... ~

You may be interested in reading about our day from the Australian War Memorial website:

"Remembrance Day (11 November) marks the anniversary of the armistice which ended the First World War (1914-18)."
