Lest we Forget…

Today is November 11th, the day we set aside to commemorate those who have fought and died so that we may live in freedom.  The service here in Kamloops was a beautiful tribute, and I fought back tears of thanksgiving for those lives lost, for me, for you, for freedom…

Coming from a much smaller community, the scope of this Remembrance Day ceremony was impressive.  There was even a fly-over of a flight Squadron from Slave Lake, AB.

The chorus of bagpipes gave me goosebumps… I could listen to them all day.. such a beautiful sound!!  I’ve not heard so many all at once, and they sounded phenomenal!

I didn’t have my wide lens on so I couldn’t capture the whole scope of how many people were in attendance, but there were LOTS!

A grandfather retired from the military tells the story to his grandson.  There is such a beautiful story in this photo, a heritage passed on to a new generation of the remembering…  may we NEVER forget the wars that have been fought for our present and future…

Tidbits

Well, we are all relocated to Kamloops and digging our feet in and getting settled.  I’m from Smithers, BC, a beautiful, mountainous, verdant, colorful, lush place.  We’ve found ourselves in the desert!!  So different.  So amazingly beautiful in a desolate, wistful, stark, desert-y (is that even a word??) way.  When I need a break from editing the non-stop sessions from before the move,  I’ve been taking my camera out and learning the landscape here.  Here is just a taste of the scenic side of Kamloops:
