Loch Lomond framed.

Loch Lomond framed.
The views keep on coming as we stroll along this marvellous stretch of the loch. Here we see something special.

Loch Lomond National Park Memorial Sculpture:
Since 1995, the area around Ben Lomond, including the mountain summit, has been designated as a war memorial, called the Ben Lomond National Memorial Park.
The park is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars and was created out of the former Rowardennan Estate with the support of the National Heritage Memorial Fund.
The Memorial Park was officially opened on Armistice Day in 1997 by the Rt Hon Donald Dewar, then Secretary of State for Scotland and later becoming the first First Minister of Scotland.
At the opening ceremony he unveiled a granite sculpture by Doug Cocker, a Scottish artist who had won a competition organized by the Scottish Sculpture Trust to design a permanent monument for the park.

The pyramid can also been seen as a bridge across the water Herb taking one right into the magnificent scene beyond ~~~

Ah, I had not seen that as I snapped Nick , otherwise I would have got the point more on the edge of the shore. Quite a striking sculpture that makes us see such things.

Keep safe. Herb

The pyramid symbolizes ascension, elevation, as well as the power of life over death. Its symbology combines with one of the most powerful geometric symbols - the triangle,
a magical symbol of protection, defense and power.
Superb sculpture and
Excellent framing, Herb!
Thanks also for interesting note

A great image of this memorial and its setting, Herb. My father-in-law was a red beret in WW2 and I recall him telling me he'd trained in that area.

I can't think why I didn't comment on this when I first saw it back in June last year. The framing is spot on and that view is gorgeous!

Better late than never I supoose!
