Remembrance Day 2009, Montreal

[bigtwinky]

Again this year I went to our local Remembrance Day memorial.

One of the first posts I did on TPF was with my 2008 Remembrance Day photos. I'm somewhat amazed at how far I have come in my photos in one year's time.

Here is the old thread:

And here are the images from today. I hope you all took a moment of silence to remember those who gave their lives for our freedom.

1. The pippers pipes

2. Veteran walking

3. Tuba's reflection (I just find this one funny)

4. The maple leaf

5. Justin Trudeau paying his respects (the son of ex-Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau)

6. The mayor of Montreal getting ready to lay a wreath

7. I know, I cut her hat and pompom . I still like the image

8. The crowd gathered on the McGill University campus

9. Laying a wreath

About another 10-15 on my flickr, I won't post them here.
Thanks for looking

great pictures!

i was at the ceremony here in kamloops but wasn't really wanting to go squeezing through the ranks etc to get close for the shots. :er:

had to deal with being behind the crowd barrier with my 55-250.

Pretty cool feeling isn't it Twinky on how you can improve from learning, and practicing. These are great! Now guess what man, you can only get better then these next year!

I was in the media area, so I was able to capture closer shots which was fun. No pass, no nothing, just act like one of them and its all good

Thanks for checking it out guys
