Each week, one of the moderators or administrators selects an image that, for whatever reason, catches their eye. Please feel free to add your comments here. Vigorous discussion of the images and techniques is welcome and encouraged. Criticism of any mod for their choice is not. Please note that this is "Picture of the Week"; do not confuse that with "best picture of the week", which is a concept of which we have no understanding.

Despite hard drive failure, our illustrious leader managed to reinstate the forum very quickly. Thankfully we are also able to publish our regular PotW, and this week we have a guest selector in ATJ (Andrew) who stepped up to the mark very smartly. Here is his selection: ATJ wrote:Seeing as the past week included ANZAC Day, I think it makes sense to pick an image from the day. For me, this image by Gerry encompasses Anzac Day but from a slightly different perspective. This is the original thread. Congratulations to Gerry for this emotive image, and thanks to Andrew for a fine selection. Unfortunately the site is still somewhat disturbed, and ATM I cannot post the thumbnail image that should appear on the portal page.

I agree one of a series from Gerry that invokes the spirit of the ANZAC’s with respect.
Well done Gerry

Thanks Trevor; I've adjusted that issue. Andrew, great selection, and great image, Gerry.

I just want to make it clear that the selection was made by ATJ (Andrew), not me.
