A tranquil view along the River Trent towards the site of the little known Battle of Stoke Field (1487), Nottinghamshire, UK.
Considered the last major engagement of the Wars of the Roses, the battle was a decisive Lancastrian Victory. 20,000 men are thought to have fought in the battle, which resulted in the deaths of anywhere up to 7,000. It was probably a larger, bloodier battle than the more famous Bosworth Field, which occurred two years earlier and failed, contrary to popular belief, to end Yorkist ambitions for the Throne.
Armies were led by King Henry VII (Henry Tudor) and the Earl of Lincoln, the latter hoping to depose Henry, and put a random ten-year-old boy on the throne. Lincoln claimed that the boy, Lambert Simnel, was actually the nephew of Richard III, and a legitimate Yorkist heir. The look-a-like child had been crowned King in Dublin, before arriving in England with a large army of largely Irish and Flemish troops.
They were defeated here, by the banks of the Trent just a few miles from the royal fortress of Newark Castle. The Earl of Lincoln died in the Battle, but the would-be usurper, Simnel was captured, pardoned by the King and employed as a servant in the Royal Household.
Battlefield. Multipleexposure photo using iPhone. Taken on the way to the cycling centre at the weekend and composed whilst waiting in the queue to gain entry to pass the time. I ve driven past these poppies in the hedgerow a few times over the past days as I ve taken the garden waste I cannot shred or compost to the tip. They catch my eye every time. Their symbolism with the brutality is war always strikes me as being at odds with their beauty in nature.

I visited Perryville Battlefield Historic Site over the weekend for sunset. There are many trails with wildflowers and the compositions are limitless

Enjoy, lemme know what you think! Btw, 90% of these figures' gear is sculpted, including the base for the vest as well.

Gettysburg, PA.
I was fortunate to travel to the East Coast with 8th graders for 18 years. We started in Boston and ended in Washington DC. I'm working on a book of images from our trips.
Approximately 653 cannons were assigned to the two armies (372 to the Union Army and 281 to the Confederate Army) in the Gettysburg Campaign, and that today there are approximately 370 cannons that sit on the battlefield that had been placed by the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association.
