A few weekends ago I was walking around the Adelaide CBD and stumbled across the Pioneer Women’s Memorial Gardens. In it is this statue.

I’ve been seeing one of my favourite photographers taking a number of B&W images and so I decided to try it with this statue. They came out rather well I think. The shadows and highlights created by the use of B&W add to the image I think. This is the statue from another angle.

An inscription at the base of the statue reads:
“The garden of remembrance and the flying doctor base at Alice Springs were established in the centenary year 1936 by the women of South Australia as a tribute to the pioneer women of the state”
