looks so calm and peaceful now...difficult to realize that wars were fought there!
I guess this is something aerial warfare made obsolete.
It is truly amazing that they are still there after all this time... and weather.
Have a great day.
Always, Queenie
One of my favorite things about the entire mid-Atlantic area, is how so much of the battlefields from both wars has been preserved and kept alive after all this time. So much history...
