“A day spent without the sight and sound of beauty, the contemplation of mystery, or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day; and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.” ~Lewis Mumford
Third on our trek home: Newfoundland Memorial Park. The ground here remains almost untouched from when the war actually ended. The Newfoundland Regiment was part of the 88th Infantry Brigade within the 29th Division, attacked here on July 1, 1916.
The beaten battleground and trenches
"Danger Tree:" the legendary marker between the opposing lines, halfway across No-Man's-Land.
Flowers at the cemetery=beautiful! Unfortunately, they were plastered with bees, and Anne got stung--a nice token to remember the place by. ;)
