A WAR TO END ALL WARS

WWI – A war to end all wars. A presentation to commemorate the fallen of WWI, and all other victims of senseless violence through the ages.

My brother had two tickets for one of these audio/visual presentations held in Fort Madalena (we know it as Fort Madliena) and he invited me to go with him. Seeing a photography opportunity I immediately accepted. We went last Sunday evening. The show took around two hours and we really enjoyed it.

In this picture I took a shot (one of several) of the brochure and artificial poppy we were handed before we entered the fort; I then layered it onto a picture I took of a narrow passage leading to the bridge and the fort. More shots to follow.
Many thanks for looking and for the lovely comments and the fav's on yesterday's picture

A great tribute Dione and I like the way you have presented it. The red of the poppy really stands out.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Sadly, it didn't though, did it? I wonder if there will ever be a time when there is no active battleground anywhere in the world?
Beautifully done, Dione.
