At low tide you can see the result of the battle between the sea and the cliffs.

"Head from a statue of a young man", marble, Rome, Italy about 120-140CE after a Greek original, about 430 BCE. Exhibited in the exhibition "Ancient Greeks: Athletes, Warriors and Heroes at the National Museum of Australia, Canberra. It is unlikely a soldier would have worn his helmet like this during battle as it would have left him vulnerable to attack. The sculptor probably revealed his subject's face to convey a sense of action, tension or even fear. Alternatively, this young man may have been competing in the "hoplitodromos", a race run in full armour that was a popular eventuate sporting competitions.

Gettysburg Battlefield, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. This is one of the most iconic US Civil War battlefields. Being an amateur history buff, I have been to this battlefield 4 times. Each visit is as poignant and somber as the last. Much to be learned here as a nation, If only we would wake up and pay attention!

The 100-foot-high Battlefield Monument stands as a symbol of peace and commemorates those soldiers who died on June 6, 1813.
it is a battlefield-like impression when the poppy gives up its male seed threads and leaves them chopped off on the poppy leaves.

This is the Leanach Cottage on Culloden Battlefield, and is the only building remaining from the time of the famous battle in which the Jacobites were soundly defeated in 1746. It continued to be occupied up until 1912, and is now maintained in its current condition, though visitors are no longer allowed inside. We walked the solemn battlefield which is a mass graveyard, peaceful and quiet on a cloudy day, accompanied by a historian who is steeped in the stories and mythology of Scottish history.

A section of the Somme battlefield in Picardy, France. Tragic scenes played here in the First World War, in July 1916, when the British army tried to break through the German defences.
The front in Northern France had bogged down in the autumn of 1914. Mobile warfare morphed into a large-scale siege war of trenches and fortified lines. In 1916, both sides attempted to end the stalemate with massive offensives dominated by artillery - the Germans at Verdun, the French and British at the Somme.
The whole Somme campaign, July-November 1916 (141 days), cost Britain 420,000 casualties (killed, disappeared and wounded); the Germans lost half a million, the French 202,000 men. The breakthrough was never achieved.

Past meets present at Gettysburg National Military Park. The monument in this image is dedicated to the 73rd New York Infantry, which was comprised almost entirely of volunteer firemen from New York City. The Sherfy Barn can also be seen in the distance.
We headed out to Manassas Battlefield with the camera and the dogs - fall views and a great place to walk Teddy and Echo without too many distractions. Midweek we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves.
