Flow of life
Yes this is Iraq. Believe it or not but there are places where conflict has yet to sweep in and do the usual makeover. Really? Say it's so?
Somewhere in this landscape are 8 bodies. During a mission insurgents made an attempt to escape but caught the wrong end of a few Apache helicopters. I remember all of us making it to the riverbank and coming across this scene, almost forgetting why we had gone there in the first place.
I never knew what had happened to those bodies. I do remember that no one wanted to go in and fetch them out. This image is the resulting emotion of how oddly life goes on and how little humanity can mean at times like this.
Finding myself looking harder into that... and this.
