Black & White Reflections - Normandy American Cemetery
On a foggy morning in June of 2000 I visited the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer where the remains of 9,387 American military dead are buried. It was a very humbling experience.
Your photos are wonderful and certainly capture the heart. Just viewing them creates a sense of awe and respect mixed with a sorrow for what these brave souls must have gone through, I can only imagine how it would feel to stand in the fog and view it for myself.
An excellent photo for Weekend Reflections and The Weekend in Black and White!
