I created this image by overlaying a photo I took of a Hurricane, Lancaster and Spitfire plane, over a field of poppies to remember Armistice Day.

 

Armistice Day, later known as Remembrance Day in the Commonwealth and Veterans Day in the United States, is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, at 5:45 am for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. But, according to Thomas R. Gowenlock, an intelligence officer with the U.S. First Division, shelling from both sides continued for the rest of the day, ending only at nightfall.

 

The armistice initially expired after a period of 36 days and had to be extended several times. A formal peace agreement was reached only when the Treaty of Versailles was signed the following year.

 

Remembrance Day Poppies are a symbol of respect and remembrance of those who died in World War I. This poppy flower meaning came about because the the field poppy, hardy yet delicate, was a common part of the landscape on the Western Front during the Great War. After being heavily bombed and scarred, the land did not lend itself to growing much. In his famous poem, “In Flanders Fields,” Canadian-born John McCrae wrote about this pretty red flower that grew over the graves of those who had given the ultimate sacrifice and that beautified the devastated countryside.

Forget-me-not. Myosotis.

When not remember what happens to us,

the same thing can happen.

They are the very things that we marginalize,

memory kill us, we burn the ideas,

take away the words.

If history is written by the victors,

that means that there is another story,

the real story.

who want to hear let him hear.

They burn the words, they are silenced,

and the voice of the people will ever hear.

Needless to kill,

proof of death

that life exists ...

Cuando no recordamos lo que nos pasa,

nos puede suceder la misma cosa.

Son esas mismas cosas que nos marginan,

nos matan la memoria, nos queman las ideas,

nos quitan las palabras

Si la historia la escriben los que ganan,

eso quiere decir que hay otra historia:

la verdadera historia,

quien quiera oír que oiga.

Nos queman las palabras, nos silencian,

y la voz de la gente se oirá siempre.

Inútil es matar,

la muerte prueba

que la vida existe…

Don't forget to put your clocks back tonight if you live in the UK. Just before sunrise this morning taken down at Islandhill :)

Trudging around Tiddesley Wood, Pershore, the other morning in the bitterly cold wind and frequent snow showers.

 

A few people stopped and asked what I was photographing, I can understand why, the trees have been stripped bare and there was little in the way of wildlife to bring any cheer to the bitterness, however this is exactly what I was looking to photograph. The winter mood and woodland.

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
