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
"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!

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.

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.

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.
