Normandy

Trip to the WWII sites in Normandy, France 28-30 May 2011. Stops included the D-day museum, the Airborne Museum, Iron Mike statue, the American sectors of Utah and Omaha beaches, the Canadian Sector on Juno beach and Point du Hoc, and most humbling of all, the American cemetary - Colleville, with its 9,386 American Soldiers both known and unknown resting here, located just off of Omaha beach, . For those who watched Band of Brothers, we did pass by Brecourt Manor several times, no stops, but wasn't anything there worth photographing.

    Utah beach, from the beach wall (or whatever the area where the beach ends) to the water line, this area was essentially the first area the troops had any kind of cover.
    just another view out to the water line (this is low tide, about the same distance the troops had to cover on d-day, it's about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile from the water line to this spot.
    I was going for a panorama, which is why the preceding images are close to the same, but I didn't stitch them.
