Reconciliation - I thought of the memorials found in every French village, not for those fallen in this war
but those who were "Mort pour la France" in the First World War. That and the Treaty of Versailles
whose terms both humiliated and bankrupted the fledgling democracy of the German Wiemar republic thus paving the way for National Socialism, Hitler and World War II.
I remembered my feelings earlier in this trip, as I had stood between the white limestone spires of the Vimy Ridge Memorial, honouring the sixty-six thousand Canadians who perished in the First World War...
The memorial, reputed to be the most beautiful in all of France, rises from the crest Hill 145, the highest point of the Ridge.

This site and my photography business have developed from a passion for wonder, for wandering and for story telling. In the past few years I have traveled to more than 700 cities and places in pursuit of wonders from which come my stories and photographs.(see below)
I primarily sell photographs for office, model suites, or home decor, Many images are serenely beautiful and will enhance the atmosphere of any room. Most of our sales are in the home decorating business and to people who want high quality photographs that capture the essence of exotic travel destinations. I also sell photo gifts (t-shirts, mugs, etc.). We are located about 20km (12mi) NW of the Toronto International Airport in the city of Brampton.
