Artist's Comments

This was shot during a trip in bastogne about world war II.
This is a German graveyard were under each stone lie 3 of their fallen soldiers. The weird part is that in the whole graveyard there were growing Dutch Oak trees. Also this one who just got some new leafs, with on the background the graves of the German soldiers.

Hope you like it!

For a minute there, I lost myself.

I love how in the preview you can see the tombstones very easily but you don't see the "Life" portion of the shot until you full-view it. It's very subtle and very well done.
