Australian War Memorial 2010

I didn't take any photographs inside the war memorial, just the open courtyard area.
It was a very bright sunny day, as usual in beautiful Canberra. I wish I knew how to capture the dazzle of the sun caught by the ripples as people threw coins into the "Pool of Reflection".


A small section of the Roll of Honour, which lists the names of virtually every Australian who has died in war since 1885. There are currently approximately 102,000 names inscribed. *
