War Scars Photography

 In my opinion, the scars of war produce a deep, negative energy that is not only seen on earth, but also felt. The negative energy can still live on in the hearts of man and involve the surrounding energy of the war site.

War has always been a part of mankind.  War is seen as an escalated conflict between at least two groups involved. 

Think back to when you were a child. If you wanted something you did what you saw others do, you asked for it. And if that didn't work, you begged for it. And if that didn't work, you manipulated to get what you wanted. And if that didn't work, you used aggression to get what you wanted. Eventually, you probably got what you wanted using whatever tactic worked. You did not accept NO for an answer.

War? Maybe.

Maybe this is the way we learn about war, growing up. 

Recently, I visited Dover, London, Bovington, and Isle of Portland, England. 

I was too young to have been a part of World War I and World War II when it happened. Sure, we had history class talking about it. My grandpa rarely talked of the horrors he experienced in France during World War I.

But hearing about the huge conflicts is not the same as actually being involved in the war. To feel a bit of the emotional pain involved, one must talk to the ones that were involved in a war. Visiting the war scared sites left behind on earth can also help you witness the emotional pain and suffering involved.  Simply looking at a war machine you can witness/feel the pain and suffering that it brought to other/ people.

Here are some of my photos I took of war scars, war machines, and sites that people were tortured.

 I ask you to look with a respectful memory of all the people who were involved in the wars, killed in the wars/ death and destruction. For each one of them no matter what side of a war they were on, were not other, but were people having a life/ being born, growing-up, working, getting married, having children of their own, playing with grandchildren, and growing old.

Conflict! At what expense?

Dover Castle. Notice how thick the walls are. Walls can measure up to 21 feet thick in places. Castles were meant to keep you safe during war/conflict. But also could be used as a prison as well, keeping you in. Dover, England was bombed during WWII. Negative energy is around this area. 

At the Dover tunnels, an officer of World War II allowed me to photograph him. He wears a heavy wool uniform, nice for those cold, windy, damp days and nights. Let us remember ALL the men, women, children, horses, mules, dogs, and birds who died during any war.
