Here are some of my shots from our dawn-visit to the Tower of London a couple of weeks ago to see Paul Cummins’ Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red; appropriate to share today on Remembrance Day.

What I find most important to remember about those who perished in WWI is that they were just people, like you and me; they were people who fought for what they believed was right, for the freedom of their peoples and their countries, for the freedom of other peoples and other countries.

I know it’s not so simple, war never is. I know there are many cynics in the world. But, no matter how many years pass, people died fighting for the hope of a better future, for us. That makes me sad and it makes me grateful. And we should remember them.
