Pioneer Woman Monument

The change in 40 years is quite a lot but still a very fitting monument to the pioneer women of western Australia. I found out its lit in summer nights rather than all year so we went to capture the same magic as 40 years ago. I hope the new version does the Ladies Justice, with its higher Fountain and new lighting.

I would like to add this comment I got on Flickr I believe it says it all

Been reading a bit of history, this year, and our pioneering women had to be resiliant and tough. My great grandmother lived in the Pilbara in the late 19th Century, travelled almost every year to York to have a baby, then back again to the Pilbara, often without the baby. Only two of nine babies survived their infancy.
Happy Christmas, Steve.

That is true resilience and why this monument was erected and why I wanted to do it some justice....
