One of the most emblematic WWI sites in Flanders, the lock gates of the famous 'Ganzenpoot' (goose leg). These lock gates, just behind the estuary of the river Ijzer, among others, were opened at high water to inundate the Ijzer valley to stop the invading Germans. At this point the WWI became static and the decline of the German invaders began!, Nieuwpoort, Belgium.

Meesen Ridge WWI Commonwealth Military Cemetery, Meesen Belgium.
This is the farthest point in Flanders/Belgium up to the French border. The undulating landscape (see the next picture I will post) was an ideal war 'landscape' for the then known warfare. Thousands of brave young men lost their lives while running across these open fields, facing machine gun fire, in a senseless attack, how stupid generals can be...

The landscape around Meesen with a WWI bunker, Meesen, Belgium.
The open undulating landscape (see also the my previous picture I posted today) was the 'field of honour' where thousands of brave young men lost their lives while running across this open land, facing machine gun fire and grenades, in a senseless attack. When I shot these pictures my son turned 18, the age ripe for the war, it gave me a cold feeling...
I know, this isn't a woodland scene (although there ar woods on the horizon), but it enlightens the circumstances and the contente of the previous picture, I was standing my back toward that graveyard then.

This is a great series.

I only have digital images from the trip, just snapshots, really, but a friend is a historian and lives nearby. We spent a weekend when I was in Europe for work visiting various sites. It is an amazingly evocative experience. The fact that he used to take his children to collect buckles and bullet casings at the edge of working farmer's fields and they were still finding these in the 1990s tells you the massive scale of the endeavor. The steel harvest. And all the small graveyards in random farmer's yards show how brutal it was.

I think your images set a proper tone.

This one reminds me of Tyne Cot, which was really something to see. Hundred year old graves, but maintained as new. Some things should not be forgotten. They still do the Last Post at the Menin gate every day.

As shown in the photograph: Jewish people do not mix the living with the dead, therefore they do not bring flowers to the cemetery. Instead they place stones on the grave markers to show reverence and as a sign that the deceased is still visited and remembered. On the practical side, stones do not dry out and rot, hence do not need someone to come by to tend the grave.

What is the point of posting on a forum a 7Mpx image, 2600+ pixels on a side? Apart from slowing down page load?
