The Pitfalls of Cemetery Photography Take One - when you regrettably discover that not only is the sun in the wrong place, but you also need the flexibility of an Olympic gymnast just to squeeze between two large gravestones to take a shot 😂🪦

Attended an excellent lunchtime talk by Athanasios Tsakonas, for the Commonwealth Heritage Forum, about Kranji War Cemetery and Memorial in Singapore. I had no idea that the main memorial was built in the shape of a Hurricane fighter jet!
