As one looked out over the flat Essex country, lying so green and peaceful under the afternoon sun, it seemed almost impossible to believe that, not so very far away, a great war was running its appointed course. 
The war was taking place far away from Essex.
Essex was caught in the middle of the war.
She is hitting a ball.
The man is sitting down.
Ca'daan had no interest in what had been written.
The person has a bowling ball.
The woman in pink is walking in the snow
A crowd of people swarms around a band in the city square.
