The facial expressions are great. The angle of the camera enhances their pride and respect. Very nice.

I remember that a moment later they spotted me, looked down and actually smiled at me :)
Thank you!

Thank you, Marta for sharing this moment with us.

Many of us have heard of evils done to Poland - the most chilling ones are from relatives.

Stay safe and well, My Friend,

Great documentary photo and portrait of a moment in time, Marta, the square format works really well here too.

Thank you, Frank!
I wonder if any of them were there this year.
I couldn't... I got our invitation (addressed to my Mom as a family member) but couldn't leave my Mom alone at home.
