IN MEMORY
The Bali Memorial in Perth
Again from King's Park this is the Pioneer Women's Memorial Fountain, "in memory of" those women who struggled as settlers in this remote place.

IN MEMORY
Vancouver is a bit thin on the ground for impressive memorials, or I don't seem to have any photos of one. I wish I could show you a photo of the Taj Mahal but I have never been there. Now that's an impressive "in memory of".
But a recent visit to Perth gave me some examples for this theme. The first, while very impressive in fact, was difficult to photograph so this is not a good shot. But it was a truly moving "in memory of" those from Perth who died in the Bali nightclub explosion on October 12, 2002. As well, in the background, each stately eucalyptus or gum tree has a plaque at its base, " in memory of" an Australian soldier who died in the service of his country. There are actually 1100 such trees with memorial plaques in King's Park, Perth.

Great post. Perhaps Vancouver is fortunate not to have a history that needed much in the way of memorials to the fallen or those who suffered.
Lovely how they've a memorial site for those victims of the blast.
Great take for this week's theme :)
Wow!!!! My "memory" photo was taken less than a Kilometre from where yours were taken :) Now I'm missing Perth even more!
These are lovely choices for our theme this week.
Apart from the beautiful scene, the sky is a bonus! Happy weekend!

This is a lovely park, I love the idea of the trees as living memorials. Wonderful take on this week's theme.
jmb have you been able to get into TNchick's site? I can't seem to access it
Oh that is very impressive, with all those trees and the plaques on them! That is a cool statue in the pond! Thank you sweetie for visiting my hunt today, I always appreciate your visits!
Beautiful photos! That second memorial with large statue is particularly lovely! Thanks so much for visiting mine yesterday and your kind words :)
There are several memorials in Singapore for the people who died during the Japanese occupation.
Happy Mother's Day, jmb!
