stunsworth Posted July 1, 2006 Share #1 Posted July 1, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) I posted a similar shot to this in the old forum, but this time I've gone for a black and white approach - it seemed more appropriate somehow. Teken in Northern France. I may have mentioed this before, but one of the things I wasn't expecting was the sheer number of cemeteries. I'd assumed that there would be several large ones, but in fact in thes part of France there were lots and lots of small ones. I say small, but each one contained a few hundred men. A few hundred tradgedies, a few hundred grieving families, a few hundred sons not returning home. No more cemetery photos for a while, I promise! Canon 5D, 180mm Elmar.

andybarton Posted July 2, 2006 Share #4 Posted July 2, 2006 John You are correct. simple typo, no doubt. There are as many powerful photos to be taken here as there are graves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
