Operation Market Garden 82nd Anniversary Commemoration.
A Bridge too far.
Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an Allied military operation planned, and predominantly led, by the British. It was fought in the Netherlands and Germany in World War II. The success of the operation depended on taking a series of nine bridges, the last being at the city of Arnhem over the Rhine river. Airborne and land forces succeeded in the liberation of the Dutch cities of Eindhoven and Nijmegen, but failed in keeping their farthest positions in and around the city of Arnhem including the bridge over the Rhine.

Pourtant, l'édition suivante, 2001–2002, est officiellement présentée comme la 11e édition.

The ancient paintings of the Ajanta Caves are among the greatest treasures of Indian art and a remarkable window into a world that flourished more than 1,500 years ago. Created between the 2nd century BCE and the 6th century CE, these exquisite murals cover the walls and ceilings of Buddhist monasteries and prayer halls carved into the rocky cliffs of Maharashtra. Their vibrant colors, graceful figures, and intricate details continue to captivate visitors from around the world.
More than works of art, the Ajanta paintings are visual stories of faith, compassion, and human experience. Many depict the Jataka tales, which narrate the previous lives of the Buddha, along with scenes of royal courts, merchants, musicians, nature, and everyday life. These murals reveal not only the spiritual ideals of Buddhism but also the social, cultural, and artistic richness of ancient India. The paintings are celebrated for their expressive faces, fluid movements, and extraordinary ability to convey emotion and storytelling. Their influence spread far beyond India, inspiring artistic traditions across Asia and along the Silk Roads. Today, the Ajanta paintings stand as a timeless testament to human creativity, devotion, and the enduring power of art to connect history, culture, and spirituality across centuries.
