Sentinal Stations 1917

"Sentinel Stations" is a haunting photo by Australian photographer Frank Hurley, taken in 1917 during World War I. The image depicts a desolate landscape, with charred wooden posts standing like skeletal sentinels amidst the destruction of war. A lone soldier, dwarfed by the scale of devastation, is seen working in the foreground. The photograph's stark composition and muted tones create a sense of loss and desolation, emphasizing the tragic impact of the war on the landscape and the human spirit.
