A very small part of the Great War exhibition at the National War Memorial Museum in Wellington. Designed and funded by Sir Peter Jackson and his numerous workshops, for a small portion of the exhibition you can walk the streets of Ypres.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
This is such an interesting image with so much to look at and discover. I'm wondering if the exhibition is in black and wihite tones as well? Either way it is very effective. Love the textures in this photo.
What a wonderful way to immerse people in the feel and mood of such an important (future) battle-field as Ypres. Your moody b&w really captures the essence of the period.
@taffy Thank you very much :) @golftragic There's nothing quite like an interactive exhibition to get people...umm...interacting ;) @365karly1 Thank you very much. You'll be please to know that the exhibition is indeed available in glorious technicolour as well as monochrome.
wow- very powerful looking exhibition/installation - I thought it was a street. Really like how you've processed this too, has a feeling of night time about it
It must have been some adventure for those guys who found themselves on the other side of the world, in a time when travel was not common . A mixture of wonder and the most awful horror, Your picture captures that for me..fav, for making me think about those guys and in a few cases girls, lets hope they found peace in the end.
