Admin Michelle Young Posted 23 January , 2005 Admin Share Posted 23 January , 2005 September 1985, sorry about crappy frame, the picture has moved around rather a lot, and I have no idea where the original is............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hill 60 Posted 23 January , 2005 Share Posted 23 January , 2005 Although a WW2 memorial, I like this one. It is the Commando Memorial at Spean Bridge in Scotland. This was one of the photos I took on my first visit, with high winds and rain. The second visit yielded sun, and lots of it! However, I think the rain makes this picture. I played around with it to add to the atmospheric feel but the reduction in size to get it onto the forum has taken some of that feel away.

pooter Posted 26 January , 2005 Share Posted 26 January , 2005 Whilst not a perfect picture the people give an idea of the scale of the monument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindsey Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 I have had a painting of this image done by a friend, without the real people in it of course. It is a very haunting painting, the miost 0on the day it was taken was quite surreal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted 18 February , 2005 Share Posted 18 February , 2005 This image taken at Vimy in the mist is my favorite and has been painted for me by a friend. The painting is quite haunting and captures this atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 23 February , 2005 Share Posted 23 February , 2005 How ironic Linsey... you visit renowned for the view and you socked in with fog! Ha! I laugh only because I've had it happen to myself many times. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paullaw1155 Posted 28 February , 2005 Share Posted 28 February , 2005 Marina, The superimposed pictures work very well for presentations at talks etc. Here's another from a broody Tyne Cot: I arrived on this part of the forum by chance. Superb photographs. The one,s that you use for presentations Derek are excellent. I have used one as a desk top wallpaper. I also liked Tony's (Cox) Picture three were was that taken ???. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to this section. I am visiting Ypres and the Somme in May this year and will be taking my digital camera, so watch this space.

My pictures of Vimy Ridge ended up in a Canadian High School project about which I am very, very proud. see the collection Our WWI vacation ... but if I had to have a favorite ... it is either this one or this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 2 May , 2006 Share Posted 2 May , 2006 You asked for it Sanctuary Wood, March 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Broomfield Posted 2 May , 2006 Share Posted 2 May , 2006 And then - the serious answer. The photo below (currently my avatar) was taken in late 1989 (October), at Vimy. It shows Mrs Broomfield whilst pregnant with daughter number 1 (Emily), so I guess it illustrates the things that mean most - the family and the Great War. You see - I do have a sentimental side.

barrieduncan Posted 3 May , 2006 Share Posted 3 May , 2006 Not got many, but these are the ones I like the most. I took this one kind of by accident. I didn't have a pen handy to write down the inscription on the cross, so I took a pic, its a little different anyway. And these... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrieduncan Posted 3 May , 2006 Share Posted 3 May , 2006 And these... I know its off centre, they were repairing one side of the memorial so I was trying to dodge the scaffholding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpaw Posted 3 May , 2006 Share Posted 3 May , 2006 I have just stumbled onto this thread and have thoroughly enjoyed all the photographic efforts by all the contributors. I was most taken by Aurel's superb photo of Artillery Wood as it has been my uncle's home since 1925 when his remains were recovered after his sacrifice at The Battle of Mount Sorrel. For someone who has yet to tour the battlefields, this is the next best thing, a virtual tour. Keep up the great work and thank you all for your efforts.
