Memorial Arch

On the side of the road, by the the arch, there also stands a sculpture commemorating the returned servicemen. It was commissioned and placed during the 75th anniversary of the road celebrations.

Best times to visit

This is a quick stop that most people make during the day all year round. While I have never tried it myself, there is low light pollution in the area, and I suspect will make an interesting subject when shot before sunrise in long exposure.

Prework

There is ample parking near the site, and easy pedestrian access. Comfortable walking shoes, sandals and running shoes are suitable to wear while visiting this location.

Gear Required

The most appropriate lenses to shoot this area with would have focal lengths in the 24mm to 135mm range. Most shots can be made hand-held without the aid of a tripod. (This does not apply to long exposure shots and time-lapse photography which requires one to keep their cameras steady). If you would like to blur out the many people who are likely to be here at the same time, consider using a neutral density filter.

The weather and temperature here constantly changes, but you will be close to your vehicle and ought to be able to take shelter fairly quickly.
