A square 1:1 photograph of an evening during sunset at the illuminated Menin Gate in Ypres, a historic town in West Flanders, Belgium, known for its important role in the First World War.
It was the site of several major battles, including the First, Second and Third Battle of Ypres. The town was almost completely destroyed during the war, but meticulously rebuilt.
The Menin Gate is a memorial where the Last Post ceremony takes place every evening in honour of the fallen soldiers and is one of the city's most important monuments.
