Taking wing

.
For Camera-Critters

After the ANZAC Day commemoration (posted here and here) at the Jerusalem War Cemetery, Bird and I were just about the only living souls left out there in the noonday sun.
.
Bird left the tombstone and ascended.


Bird came to rest atop the Cross of Sacrifice, a symbol that stands in all the British military cemeteries throughout the world.

  6. Great composition. I especially like the one of the bird taking flight...echoing the idea of a soul taking flight from the body.

  9. Sadly that's the first time I hear of this day so thank you for introducing it.
    That ascending crow shot is so iconic and great.

  10. Love the middle shot of the bird taking off!

    Hello from Toronto! Hubby dear decided to sleep early, so I get to use his laptop tonight. At least, until the laundry's done. ;)

  11. Your bird friends seem to enjoy posing for you in the most meaningful (and delightful) ways. What do you think they know?

  12. A black raven is very symbolic for this place of mourning and loneliness.
