Even now, more then 50 years after the second world war, there are still shells found by my husband on our property and on this image you can see miners coming to collect and destroy them. This isn't an exception....(even bombs are found by my husband..) Our flag seems to be sad at this moment...

Just ran across this Nelly. What a powerful image it is. We Americans need to stop and think how lucky we have been. What a sad time in history this was.Deborah Martin 02 Sep 2006
Extrordinary Nelly.....that is quite a capture.......I do hope these finds end very soon.....Sylvia Jackovitch-Kallay 01 Sep 2006
Such a powerful image! WOW!!!!!sharon hendrickson 31 Aug 2006
Excellent capture ! This proves that war is something that we can try to ignore, but seems to haunt us forever. The flag does look disheartened in this capture !!Rita de Falussy 31 Aug 2006
I don't think that we'll ever forget it. Unfortunately the politicians has rather short term memory...... Great photo!Anonymous Guest 30 Aug 2006
Whow Nelly, gratis bommen........eigenlijk wel raar zo lang na de oorlog nog sprinstof op je terein te vinden. mooie foto, mooi die zeeuwse vlag, lang niet gezien. Ik heb 15 jaar in Zeeland gewoond. groetjesSteph Salt 30 Aug 2006
A very poignant photo Nelly, even peace is not the end to it, that we think it is. Bombs are still being found around the UK, but at least not quite so often now.Hassan Pasha 30 Aug 2006
may peace previal for all times sake ... the horrors of war are there to haunt forever ... may you be protected from such horrorsJoke Schotting 30 Aug 2006
Ik heb dit gemist..A super shot dear Nelly!!Ginger Lovellette 29 Aug 2006
Very emotional shot. Thanks for sharing, Nelly. Who would have dreamed that the views you've given us from your windows would contain danger zones!Cathie Brock 29 Aug 2006
It never seems to end, can peace be achieved, I'de like to hope so. Emotive and deep photo Nelly...Cath xxxSergio Saurio 29 Aug 2006
Amazingly deep photo. Thanks God Argentina has only known only one and limited war, the Malvinas Islands. Peace must be kept by any means but obviouly the World and its instutions are failing heavily. Your photo is a great documenet. Besos Sergio.thea walstra 29 Aug 2006
That is scaring Nelly. It tells also how awful wars are. After so many years you still find what the solsiers and bombers left. So I wish the whole world peace and wisdom. I think it is important that you share this photograph with us.Carliss Mora 29 Aug 2006
Good Lord Nelly! From the beautiful shots of some of the areas on your grounds, you would never realize how dangerous is could be due to the absence of peace, at one time in our history. Your place is honored to have you and your family there, because you create such beauty. Excellent picture, too, by the way!Armando Salas 29 Aug 2006
Truly amazing and sadLucia Stewart 29 Aug 2006

Zet je helm maar op Nelly en met een beetje "geluk"heb je misschien ook nog een vijver in je tuin, groet Hendrik.Olga van Dijk 29 Aug 2006
Weet je dat dit waarschijnlijk in totale verbazing gelzeen wordt door de Amerikanen? Die hebben nauwelijks een idee hoe onze (groot)ouders geleden hebben gedurende 1940-1945... Bij ons in Avondale (PA) gaat er een soort (lucht)alarm af als er een ongeluk gebeurd is op de grote weg, zodat alle vrijwillige brandweer uit kan rukken. Mijn moeder schrok zich dood en waande zich onmiddellijk weer in de tweede wereld oorlog, toen ze bij ons logeerde... NELLY I HOPE THEY LEAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL GARDEN THE WAY IT WAS....Sandra Beraha 29 Aug 2006
