No Man's Land

I took a trip with Ian to a war museum called Eden Camp. The museum is based in an old prisoner of war camp and each hut gives a different "experience" or aspect of the Second World War.

This space between the huts was to show how no-man's land might have looked. I thought the snow and sunshine added to the atmosphere.

Yes looks very bleak... well taken

[Ivan]

Bit grim. We saw 'No Man's Land' before Germany was re-unified - it divided the Harz Mountains, scarified earth, there were watchtowers, it was covered in barbed wire...and mined! Trust the Communists!

[Judith Johnson]

Yes, it makes you think doesn't it?

[Molly]

This looks rather like an area of the Nairobi slums where I've been working!

[Richard Sayer]

Ah, the inhumanity of man apparently knows no bounds.

[Therese]

Wow, you certainly captured the atmosphere well here! Very touching capture!

[bkb in the city]

What a great display

[Lynne Hart]

Good shot, nice composition.

[Pyrrhula]

Great museum of war. Very nice to have them as a tribute and warning.

[Graham Thresher]

Super shot

[Margaret Obey]

Great shot. It reminded me of the last book we read in book group. It was called- Village of Secrets (Defying the Nazis in Vichy France) by Caroline Moorhead.

[gloria jones]

Great capture of the starkness

[Kim Crisp]

Very evocative image

@julzmaioro @busylady @bkbinthecity @lhart @thresheg Thank you. It was an area that made me think how fortunate I am not to have to witness a scene like this, other than in a museum. katharine

@ivan It does bring to mind the border we crossed into Ukraine when we visited family a few years ago. katharine

@dolphin Its sad when people have to live daily with scenes like this. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@vignouse Too true. I hope museums like this help prevent further instances of inhumanity. Katharine

[Fisher Family]

@monkeykid @pyrrhula thank you. I hope that museums like this continue to educate and hopefully prevent further instances ofinhumanity. Katharine

@seattlite @kimcrisp Thank you. It was surprising how much this scene between huts managed to convey to visitors. Katharine
