Here's a photo which I haven't shared here until now....shot at the Jewish Cemetary in Warsaw, Poland in May of last year. Picture just goes to show that no matter what we do in our lifetime, nature will always beat us, in a way. Let me know what you think.

The WA lens seems to be giving a fisheye effect to the shot, did you use a flash as the background seems a bit dark?

" Nature " is the ultimate recycler. Well taken photograph.

Quoted from Wikipedia:
"... During the war the cemetery had been partly demolished. German forces used it for mass executions and burial of victims of Warsaw Ghetto, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Warsaw Uprising of 1944 and other mass murders. Those burials included both Jews and non-Jews. Following the fall of the Ghetto Uprising, on May 15, 1943 the Germans blew up all buildings in the area of the cemetery, including the synagogue and burial houses."

No flash, just natural light. Background was lighted unevenly because of the way the light came through the trees

Interesting old cemetery. Sad history.

A peaceful creature (a tree) braking the peace of a cemetery? Seems contradictory. Or what we see as violence is not but a peaceful relationship......?
Interesting photograph.

The fisheye effect works well here. I like the thread title.
