War Memorial

Beautiful monument; well captured Keith.

Thank you very much Jaap.............glad you like it.

Da hat es ja einen schönen Platz,wo dieses Denkmal steht und man hat es ganz toll hergerichtet,die schönen Blumen,die man eingesetzt hat und mit diesen Kränzen ist es auch ein würdiges Gedenken an diese Menschen,sehr schön hast du es aufgenommen :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Glad you like it Güni.........this is sited near to where we normally stay when we visit Exmouth, so I see it every day we're there. It's always kept neat and clean, and everyone is very repectful to it.

Thanks for your visit and kind words as always. Have a lovely evening. Best wishes, Keith.

yes........ its time to remember!

It is indeed.................and yet, wars still rage all over the world and we keep killing one another despite the memories of the past :-((

nooit meer herhaling

But we do keep repeating Fred...........that's the problem.

Excellent shot!

Thank you William.........glad you like it.

Joliment fleurie bon dimanche.

Thank you so much Patrick............I hope you've had a lovely day and are looking forward to the week ahead.

A well tended memorial here Keith. It would have been busy here this morning (Remembrance Sunday). Thanks for sharing.

Regards. Herb

Thank you very much Roger............yes, it would have been very busy on Remembrance Day, especially as the Royal Marines barracks is nearby!

A very nice memorial I expect there are a lot more poppies now

Thanks very much Peter........glad you like it. Yes, it will be covered in wreaths and poppies.

This is a photo of the memorial I took way back in 2011: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/19477215

Some towns in Eastern Europe and the Middle East will not have enough space to inscribe the names of the dead on a conventional monument - they will need a whole wall...

You're quite right of course Typo............and it's very sad. I hope that someday a memorial to them all will be possible in some way,.

Nicely presented and beautifully captured in a pleasant location Keith,

Thanks very much Roger...........appreciated as always.

Thank you for posting your image in the group

My pleasure as always!

Solche Denkmäler gibt es wohl überall auf der Welt. Aber leider kommt es immer wieder zu Kriegen und Auseinandersetzungen. Wann hört das endlich auf?

You're right of course Wilhelm.........Wars still rage all over the world and we keep killing one another despite the memories of the past. I doubt it will ever stop :-((

Überall stehen diese Mahnmale, Verlierer sind die, deren Name dort steht...eigentlich völlig irrsinnig, was da passiert ist....

They are indeed..........and yet us humans still insist on killing each other :-((

Bel hommage. Je regardais hier une émission sur la bataiile de Verdun et sur la bataille de la Somme. Quel carnage et que ces hommes ont du souffrir. je pense souvent à eux
