ANZAC Day 2010

Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, and is commemorated by both countries on 25 April every year to honour members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. It now more broadly commemorates all those who died and served in military operations for their countries. Anzac Day is also observed in the Cook IslandsNiueSamoa and Tonga.

  4. I love the stance of the woman in this one, Bill, even though the missus took it.

    I love the shape of her throat. Must look out for something similar ... and then work out how to use it in a respectful manner.

    Very Australina shot ...
