I thought it was a day to remember all the dead in all the wars. But I was wrong, it seems. I came to know about this day just last year. It's so important not to forget what History teaches us. Impressive photo, Mo.

For Maria Grazia; it is held on the anniversary of the armistice of the First War, but it is to commemorate all the war dead. Especially poignant this year.

Beautiful shot.

My back looks like a poppy today. I got so totally fried by the African sun.

Lovely and touching photo Mo. In Canada we always have Remebrance Day on November 11th, no matter what day of the week it is so it's coming up in just a few days here.

Beautiful shot! I meant to go out and take some photos of the poppies myself, but I never made it in the end. Nice to see this here.
