Two weeks after ANZAC day the flowers on the wreaths have wilted and the messages on the cards of condolences have faded, we have forgotten our fallen until the next ANZAC day. As Bronze may be much Beautified As bronze may be much beautified / By lying in the dark damp soil, / So men who fade in dust of warfare fade / Fairer, and sorrow blooms their soul. / Like pearls which noble women wear / And, tarnishing, awhile confide / Unto the old salt sea to feed, / Many return more lustrous than they were. / But what of them buried profound, / Buried where we can no more find. / Who ( ) / Lie dark for ever under abysmal war? by Wilfred Owen (1893 – 1918)
The Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., was dedicated on May 15, 1920. While many ceremonies are conducted throughout the country, many consider the services at Arlington’s Memorial Amphitheater to be the nation’s official ceremonies to honor all American service members who serve to keep the United States free. About 5,000 visitors attend each of the three major annual memorial services in the Amphitheater. They take place Easter, Memorial Day and Veterans Day and are sponsored by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington. The Easter Sunrise Service begins at 6 a.m. Memorial Day and Veterans Day services always begin at 11 a.m. Many military organizations also conduct annual memorial services in the amphitheater. The Memorial Amphitheater was the dream of Judge Ivory G. Kimball, who wished to have a place to assemble and honor the American defenders. Because of Kimball’s campaign, Congress authorized its construction March 4, 1913. Judge Kimball participated in the ground-breaking ceremony March 1, 1915, but did not live to see his dream completed. Ivory Kimball died May 15, 1916, and was buried in Section 3 of the cemetery, near the Memorial Amphitheater he campaigned to build. President Woodrow Wilson placed its cornerstone Oct. 15, 1915.
Grafton Underwood Airfield A Photographic view of RAF Grafton Underwood 2008, also known as USAAF Station 106, Opened in 1941. Declared Surplus in 1959, and now reclaimed by nature. Although today, the majority of Grafton Underwood Airfield has been returned to agricultural use, and most of the site has now crumbled away, Some buildings still remain, in varying condition, evidence is still very visible of its occupancy throughout the war. This work is dedicated to the men and women, who served, lived and died, at these now redundant / demolished and forgotten Airfields, which played such an integral part of the war effort.

There is a place close where I live with all of these old trucks and cars on them.
A great day for my parents ! / A precious old photo taken in Nice France
After years of absence, just recently I came back to the place where I grew up. Finding now other kids playing at the pond that was ‘mine’.... allowed long lost memories to come up…. There was a baench and a solr light in this picture which made it too modern looking, so I learned how to clone with PSP…. as it was my first time of cloning, it took me hours of trying to make it nice – hope you like it :-) Any comments welcome – I’d appreciate you help to improve. Thank you :-) / Heide
In our back garden we have a cala lily plant. The plant was originally from my grandparents garden. Both my grandparents were keen gardeners and in their garden are literally hundreds of lily plants so my parents bought one of them up and planted it in my garden. My grandparents have both passed away now and the lily is a reminder to me of both of them.
This is a statue I saw in Copenhagen, the lovely capital city of Denmark. I think it was a war memorial where it stood on top. I liked the contrast between the statue, the cloudy sky and the sunlight coming through. After some time of “artistic crisis” this angel / this shot inspired me again to be creative and to concentrate on my photography.
Are you living the feeling / The hights are they worth seeking / Nothing like believing / Are your memories healing
