For more than ten years the photographer traveled from the  dust of the Namib deserts to the frozen heights of the Vosges to create a  unique collection of images that document how time and nature have  transformed these places of horror and killing into landscapes of great  beauty and tranquillity&#8230; If anyone wants the reason for these  photographs then they need look no further than the thoughts of a  veteran leaving the shattered fields of the Somme who wrote: &#8220;No, they  would not be lonely, I saw that bare country before me&#8230; the miles and  miles of torn earth&#8230; the litter, the dead trees. But the country would  come back to life, the grass would grow again, the wild flowers return.  They would lie still and at peace below the singing larks, beside the  serenely flowing rivers. They could not feel lonely, they would have one  another. And&#8230; though we were going home and leaving them behind, we  belonged to them, and they would be a part of us for ever.&#8221; (P. J.
