Photo: @hiddenwwi | Observation post at Fort Douaumont, the largest French fort on the famous Verdun battlefield of WWI. Close by is a massive cannon. Fort Douaumont was the largest and highest fort along the two concentric rings of forts surrounding the city of Verdun. The battle of Verdun was so violent that today, a century after the months long siege which resulted in hundreds of thousands of fatalities, the ground‘s surface consists of one shell crater after another. This surreal, badly deformed landscape is the homepage photograph of my website The Hidden World of WWI.

One can’t help but wonder if the design inspiration for Star Wars doesn’t come directly from the architecture of French WWI-era forts.

This photograph was taken on a cold, wintry day with gale force winds. For a black-and-white landscape photographer, bad weather often means good photographs.
