Brisbane Shrine of Rememberance Monument   October 16, 2024 Lots of places in Australia have Anzac Memorials to the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) troups killed in WWI. Sydney hash a large ANZAC Momument in Hyde Park. In Brisbane, it looks like a Roman structure. I noticed it when I walked past it during the day, but the way it was lit made it more striking at night. The 18 columns symbolize the year 1918, when WWI ended. This article has more details on the shrine. The granite checkerboard squares reflecting the lights at night give it an almost unreal, computer-generated look. At the center is an eternal flame (visible in the here full size image).

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
