Default The Patriot



Shot this scene at Heritage Park in Calgary, Alberta. The national anthem was being played in the park. I looked off to the distance, away from the crowds, and spotted this powerful scene. I instantly saw this gentleman as a true patriot.

What a beautiful photo, and a wonderful thought. It looks like it could be in a different century. I love the strong colors. Thanks for sharing it with us!

Impressive, wonderful composition, color and content (the old man that taught me called them the 3 C's) You did a wonderful job capturing the moment. Thank you for this powerful image.
