World War One Memorials visited during a quick trip to France on Friday. Warlencourt Military Cemetery. Beaumont Hamel, home to the Newfoundland Regiment. The memorial holds the names of those missing and never found. This is where it got really eerie. In all my visits to war memorials this is the first time I had ever come across the existing trenches. Very sombre moment as you actually walk through a trench. Thiepval. This is a very large monument holding the names of 72,000 soldiers of WW1 who were never found, names are removed once the remains are found and buried with full military honours. Cemetery for the ones found.
Really great pics mark. Now dont be a stranger down here in photography section. We have a few areas to choose from. x
Hi mark, thanks for posting your picâs, and like Sandra said.. âdonât be a strangerâ Love the photos of the fish, wish I took more photos of my tank when I had it. :icon_thumright: PS.. Sandra you must give Mark an ASN award for the most OCD signature!!
Thank you Sandra. All taken at Dover, the first one from White Cliff car park and the other two approaching the harbour while still on the ferry.
I took this one a while back while out walking with my Grandsons. I don't know what it was that captured their attention but when I saw this on the full screen at home, I realised that this picture was quite special, (for me anyway). The original colour shot did nothing for me but, in black and white, it really stands out.
@Ghost, Thanks Ghost, I love this pic and my daughter had it made into an acrylic for my desk. If I never take another photo, this one will always be enough for me.
Flying Scotsman earlier today on the Severn Valley railway: Panasonic Lumix DMC-F272 20-1200mm f2.8-5.9 lens
Severn Valley tomorrow, Spooky, along with the Tornado; see http://www.expressandstar.com/enter...flying-scotsman-on-the-severn-valley-railway/ Was trying to capture the enthusiasm of others as much as the Flying Scotsman herself: f:
Great shots John, like @Ghost, I'd love to catch The Flying Scotsman. Best I have is Tornado, the one built from scratch a few years back, running here as "The Seaforth Highlander".
No narrow gauge this far North John, but I really like Roedeer in the last shot, that's a thing of beauty.
