Arizona

The huge expanse of desert in Arizona has to be seen first hand to be appreciated, I only had a limited amount of time to get a few pictures of this environment because of my other photo requirements out here but it would be worth a trip back to explore it further.






Arizona Apaches

Apache Attack Helcopter crews train in the harsh desert conditions in Arizona in preparation for operations in Afghanistan. The desert environment is very similiar to that which they will encounter when in Afghanistan and allows them to train and practice and perfect their drills and procedures.

Sit Here and Rest Awhile

Sit Here and Rest Awhile

The remembrance ceremony at Wylye in Wiltshire took place today. Rather than a large event I wanted to cover a smaller village event and show, through Wylye's example, that throughout the towns and villages across the country people are remembering the servicemen and women that have made some sacrifice towards what we call freedom.




See the next entry for a multimedia piece from Wylye.
