Thanks, Jake. I got lucky.

Ah, the very definition of 'gloaming' I see. I'd always thought that gloaming was another name for heather or undergrowth, that kind of thing. We live and learn.

French cemetery, Pondicherry

Irish cemetery, looking through the gate.

I've taken a similar photo, Chavs.



The Jewish cemetery inside the Jewish quarter at Krakow, Poland.

That is very similar!

Some British WW2 medals -- it was the star that initially made me link the two pics but I of course they are linked in other ways...

no posts since June? oh dear..

So feel free to post some.

LOL.
Just trying to give a nudge. The whole photo section (not just this thread) needs more participation. And it's a fun thread, so the more the merrier

Train lines bringing people into the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Visiting this place was a highly emotional experience, even for someone like me who has no personal connection with the events of WW2 as such. It's one thing to read about the Holocaust and these camps in the history books or accounts of the survivors and a completely different one to stand inside a gas chamber or walk around the camps and see the ruins of the buildings. It's absolutely unimaginable what human beings are capable of doing to one another.
