10May11Dpf.jpg

In Australia we have a monthly magazine called the "Australian Women's Weekly". Well you see ...
oh never mind. Aaaaaanyway, the latest edition happened to come out almost immediately following
a certain recent event. Guess which? It featured a 60 page colour supplement. Here's an image of
it opened to a particular two page spread, complete with inherent distortions.

Now, many Australians, including me, want to abandon a foreign monarchy (nothing personal, mind
you) in favour of a republic. Funny thing is, that come time for a royal wedding, everybody
finishes up being a loyal monarchist all over again ... for a moment or two. Can't honestly figure it out.

VIEW AT "Original" SIZE.

Nikon D40
1/60s f/4.5 at 28.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great cropping giving the image a very real dimensional feel - nice.

Being an American, I don't fully understand the need for a monarchy; however, I was glued to the tv watching every minute of this delightful event! :)

There are a few of us republicans in the UK too !
It did make for a good Kodak moment, or should that be a Nikon one...

Makes a great pano shot. Agree with your sentiments... I suppose it is history in the making and after all everyone loves a wedding whether it be in England or Denmark or...!

Love them or hate them, it fills a few pages in the glossy mags David.

I understand you very much David. Here too, although we are a republic, many people have found an affinity with royalty during the event that we know...Nice shot !!!
