One and a half million landmines...

One and a half million landmines are buried in the ground. If a sacred cow strays over them, they won’t touch her – irony of war. The mines respond only to the weight of a human step, tearing a leg to bits. So the villages have been abandoned. Here a bicycle frame, and there a crumbled stone bench, soon to be overgrown by vines and bush. Nature spreads a green shroud over all the bombs, the dead, the displaced.
