I went to Waterloo! And took lots of pictures!
The short version, or just a few thoughts re:Waterloo in order of appearance:
- Why is there a lion's butt in the middle of Wellington's line?
- Ridge, what ridge?
- This could be anywhere on European mainland, really. You have to know what you are looking at to know what you are looking at. These could be any fields, any where. All of Europe is blooded earth, has been for millenia.
I will not try to give an account of the battle, others do that much better. I just want to post some pictures of things that struck me as important to understand what was going on.
( Here we go )
