David Cale (ImagesOfTheJourney) > Sailing The Tectonic Seas

It might take a few million years to get anywhere but you can imagine what this amazing mountain has "seen" in its time...

SAILING THE TECTONIC SEAS by David Cale

The mountain rears magnificent 
like a titanic ship’s prow 
it cuts through countless dawns 
sun warmed or storm wracked 
mute testimony 
to the tectonic brooding 
of the planet below our feet 

I am tempted to feel small 

But a mountain is just a mountain 
not a comment on me

Near Arras NW of Paris. The land was given to Canada as a gift by France. It now Canadian soil, and the park is run by Parks Canada. You are really not in France when you are there. 

Vimy's Price

We own a fine piece of real estate
with a fine view of town and industrial mound

It's a place to rest in peace

The price... only 66 000 Canadian

A bargain at the time. 


66 000 Canadians gave their lives in defence of France in what has to be one of the stupidest and violent wars ever fought. 

World war two of course was really World war one part two.
