As a pro. photographer, probably the least thing I can think about posting here is a mere photograph. But we dropped into Dysart yesterday and on a grey day this seemed to be a most fine sculpture at the harbour. As with most photies created these days – no camera was abused.

No matter – the thing is painted in oils so I’ll adjust to authentic levels for 1918. Still, that shadow…..
