panorama of the Sesto Dolomites mountain range near Rifugio Locatelli (altitude of 2,438 m); the area was the front line between Italy and Austria during World War I and to this day, the trenches, tunnels, and iron ladders remind us of the fierce fighting witnessed by these peaks during the war
This brutal war is over,
I have no fight left within me,
I'm laying down my weapons,
Admitting my defeat.
Wounded by your power,
Controlled by my need,
The love that you once gave,
On which I'd gladly feed.
The hunger has long passed,
The weakness taken the reins,
I wave my white flag to you,
With the little of me that remains.
The victory is yours, my dear,
Enjoy it whilst you may,
Before someone takes your heart,
And sets their game in play.

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.

The Battle of Stoney Creek was fought on 6 June 1813 (during the War of 1812) near present-day Stoney Creek, Ontario. British units made a night attack on an American encampment due, in large part, to the capture of the two senior officers of the American force; and an overestimation of British strength by the Americans. The battle was a turning point in the defense of Upper Canada.
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.

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.

Vicksburg Battlefield
Mississippi
I'm back from an 8 day trip from Dallas via Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. I have so many photographs to process this winter including the 5 other states of the deep south earlier this spring.
Here is my photos of the Vicksburg Battlefield. I was extra pleased to finally visit Martin Green's plaque where he was killed. Martin Green was the Colonel for the Confederate side from our county's very own Civil War battle site at Athens where I have given tours for years. Martin Green was from Lewis County and ultimately killed at Vicksburg by a sharpshooter at the time he was a Brigadier General. It was an honor to visit the battle site where he fought over 700 miles from home.
