Eagle Point National veteran's cemetery

un intéressant cliché !

Merci, Sylvain!

These military cemeteries are valuable reminders of just how many people have died in war.

They certainly are, and to think this is only a small one in Oregon. There are many around the country...not to mention all over the world! WWII veterans are disappearing every day. :-(

Thank you, Ron.

They are disappearing fast and I for one would like to see more recordings made of their experiences. Many of them did keep diaries, wrote letters of course and generally had a written record. What will future historians make of today's paperless world?????

Excellente composition

A very beautiful and poignant image...............wonderfully composed to show the symmetry in the headstones.

No matter where you find one , there is always something incredibly moving about a military cemetery.

Excellent composition and light. Like the surreal touch of this picture very much.

Impressive and well composed Diane.

I wonder that, myself, Andy. An 88-year-old, like my father, was not able to use a computer well enough to write anything much. (He actually preferred his old typewriter and did leave some tales behind..) There should be national archivists traveling around recording these men in an organized way. Regarding the paperless world, very few things, eventually, will have "hard copies." Computers themselves, and blogs and websites, are subject to hacking, corruption of files and accidental deleting. Many children now are not taught cursive writing, which gives me fits everytime I think about it. My grandchildren will not be able to decipher an old hand-written letter of their great grandparents. Or, amazingly, my great-great-great uncle's Civil War diary!

Striking symmetry, your editing is excellent.
