The sleeper in the valley.

It is a green hollow where a stream gurgles,
Crazily catching silver rags of itself on the grasses ;
Where the sun shines from the proud mountain :
It is a little valley bubbling over with light.
A young soldier, open-mouthed, bare-headed,
With the nape of his neck bathed in cool blue cresses,
Sleeps ; he is stretched out on the grass, under the sky,
Pale on his green bed where the light falls like rain.
His feet in the yellow flags, he lies sleeping. Smiling as
A sick child might smile, he is having a nap :
Cradle him warmly, Nature : he is cold.
No odour makes his nostrils quiver ;
He sleeps in the sun, his hand on his breast
At peace. There are two red holes in his right side.(Arthur Rimbaud 'The sleeper in the valley',1870)
(The original french version sounds much better,'though.)

Now there's a game I haven't played in awhile.
Nice shots by the way.

What game is that...?
Interesting bit...I heard a WWII story from a Tank Driver...they were on patrol and looked down in a valley (you always did before you brought your tank over). They saw a whole battallion of Tiger Tanks.
They called it in and some planes bombed them...
Turned out they were not tanks at all, but dummies made out of hay, trash, tin sheets, whatever they could find!

IL2... Most likely with all the latest addons and patches.
Nope. Just Forgotten Battles patched to its latest version. Everything beyond FB was a waste of money.
Btw: The Me 110 was an AI aircraft.
