Description
several years ago I had the opportunity to visit the Manila American cemetery in Manila Philippines.I was in awe of so many graves of soldiers.yesterday I found out that it holds more soldiers from WWII than any other-more than 17,000 graves.it was my first time to view a military cemetery and I had a huge lump in my throat coming to the realization of the huge sacrifice.one can hear in school,on radio, and tv but seeing in person puts a whole new light on the tragedy of war
this is a hover fly and it is less than 1 inch long.thanks for viewing and any comments

Great detail!! beautiful...
Several great captures here!
Really wonderful and touching words in your dedication Richard, nice job and very powerful. Your image is nice also my friend.
We have some war cemeteries here too of course. A few years back they found two German soldiers, they were buried in a churchyard in the wartime without a mark or stone. Fully dressed. The Germans didn’t know that, I think it happened at the end of the war. It was near the place I lived back then. They find still some remains after all those years. Beautiful macros Richard. And a wonderful dedication too.
Fantastic dedication and collage. Well done.
