We Are Making a New World

Description: 

This picture is included in this gallery because of the incredible use of depth and detail. While it may look simple on the surface, this photo was created by a WWI veteran named Paul Nash to show the empty landscape and present the feeling of loneliness and isolation that war creates. I also believe the tall trees and rolling hills show the unsettling peace that comes after the war--seeing that there are no soldiers in this photo.
