Canadian Firefighters Memorial, July 6, 2014

I noticed two major changes to the Canadian Firefighters Memorial when I went to photograph it on this day. There are several names that have been added to the wall and the firefighter has a new patina.

If you compare him to the photographs in the next earliest posting on this blog you will see that he was a dusty green colour. Now he's a shiny dark brown. Taking a very close look at him I saw brush stroke marks. You may be able to see them in the photographs.

The newly engraved names show up as a very light colour as compared to names put on earlier. I photographed a few panels where you may be able to see this. I'm sure I didn't get them all.

Since Bluesfest was in full swing I parked such that my approach to the memorial was from a path to the south of it, which is why the first few photographs show a different approach to the site.
