This is The American War Cemetary at Madingley Nr. Cambridge UK in August 2005. At over 30 acres the site holds over 3800 Americans. A wall of the Missing lists the names of over 5000 more whos bodies were never recovered or identified. Your comments if any please. #417601

WOW, what a powerful image, Bill! The bright, white headstones show how beautiful life is and the dark clouds in the background show us how dark war and death is. My interpretation of your image :o). Great job!!!! #2590645

You have captured a little masterpiece here, Bill! I am very impressed with the heavy cloud and the head stones following the same curve! Well seen and captured! #2591824

Bill - Such a touching image. What a beautiful spot for our soldiers that did not come home. My dad and uncles fought in WWII. The colors and leading lines of the stones are wonderful and the dark sky adds to the moodiness of this image. Thank you for letting us have a look at a place many of us will never see. #2615955

Hi Karen, I'm only too pleased to have brought you some enjoyment from such a sad happening - we never learn from them though, do we? Thank you for your comments. Regards, Bill J. #2618290
