Place d’Arme in Bure, Jura Region, Switzerland
These photos are difficult to explain in a few words. I made these images in 2008.
It relates a lot to our culture, but a culture that is more linked to the cold war times. Now this culture is fading away, but there are still many remains like this “Place d’Arme”.
I was fascinated how the army has put so much energy to make it look good and a kind of real.
