No one can prepare you for the impact Tyne Cot Cemetery has on a human mind of today, being not aware of the terrors and fears that came with The Great War. 11,965 burials, of which 8,369 are unnamed, mark the Belgian landscape while fields of crops and wheat embrace this monumental site.⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣Hold your breath and try to walk humbly over this burial ground once you made it to this region in Belgium - and try to learn from history (which we all should do but seemingly still fail)!⁣

"In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

... We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields."

(John McCrae, written on May 3, 1915)

Not many places on this planet are as peaceful as the "Pool of Peace" aka. #LoneTreeCrater aka. the #Spanbroekmolenkrater near Ypres, despite its origin in The Great War. Being there twice, it's astonishing to feel how much a man can calm down when sitting here. Nature has done a magnificent job of healing the scar of war.

Having a depth of twelve meters and spreading 129 meters, it's the biggest crater reminding of the atrocities of the First World War.
