Rising
This arm is the top of a statue called "The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves". It stands in the World War II Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial, in Normandy, France. It is a very moving experience to stand at the base of this statue and look out at the over 9,000 graves of American soldiers, most of whom died during the invasion of Normandy. The whole statue is very powerful, but I especially liked the way this reaching arm stood out against the blue sky.
