November '16 Photo Comp - 'Monuments'
November 2016.
This month’s topic, chosen by our October Winner VK2FMIA is
Monuments - 'structures that were created to commemorate a person, historic event or cultural heritage'. There are plenty scattered about the country in many different guises - so a pretty good chance that most folk will have photographed a few.
Good luck to everyone, I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of 'monuments' have meaning for different folk.
