"THINK NOT ONLY UPON THEIR PASSING
REMEMBER THE GLORY OF THEIR SPIRIT"

That text you can read on the monument at the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer near Omaha Beach (France).

Over 65 years later we have to conclude that mankind has learned nothing from this…...

Très belle image . L'émotion qui s'en dégage est renforcée par le choix du noir et blanc et la composition très bien pensée!

A good shot, I like the composition and hauling. the contrast of light gives it a great detail. A hug.

Hello Adri,
The b&w conversion and the composition highlights the cemetery's attractive design and symmetry. A fine capture and dedication to the braves. My best regards.

HI Adri
In death as in life they are aligned with precision.
Good angle and placement, the shadows very present to make this shot very moody with lots of emotions.
I remember as I was around when the war was going on.
Well done and TFS
Dot
