Brian, you evoked some rather grim associations also related to the
WWII. So one may say, you've hit the bull's eye with this viewer...

G'day all
Another one from my trip to Western Australia.
At Geraldton there is a memorial to the sailors who were lost off the WA
coast when the HMAS Sydney II was sunk in WW2. It's a particularly
beautiful memorial and it's focal pint is a silver dome with 645 silver
seagulls - one for each sailor lost.
The memorial is even more significant now than in the past - the wreck
of the Sydney (and the Kormoran, the German raider that sank her) was
located in 2008, about 100 km off the coast at a depth of 2,468 metres.
