 I took this shoot during a short trip in France, being lucky enough to go near Compiegne where the WWI armitice was signed in 1918.

This picture was taken in a small town where you can find a WWI militar cementery.
All in the same place, you can find Anglican, Arabic and Catholic soldiers whom fight during WWI. I tried several shots to get all kind of graves as each one is particular but none altogether to get something nice for the challenge. As consequence, I selected this one with anglican and catholic graves, the sky made the additional detail for the decision. A bit a shame as the arabic grave is a bit more specific and I really wish I could have all three on the picture to show diversity of people involved during this historical and key preiod of time.
