National Memorial Arboretum

A lovely quiet morning at the National Memorial Arboretum.

For the first time, I went on the Land Train,  a truck pulled train which tours the perimeter of the huge site, with a commentary.  I had my attention drawn to quite a few things I hadn’t noticed before.

My blip is of part of the Royal Navy memorial which I’ve seen and looked closely at so many times. I hadn’t realised that the blue and green glass panels represent the different colours of the world’s oceans. The red and yellow panels represent the sunrise and the sunset with a sole figure standing in respect. 

I’ve been so often and every time it feels special.
