Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is the name of a ridge, basilica, and French national cemetery in the north of France.

This ridge is the high point (standing at 165m) dominating the flat plains around. More than a year of tight battles were held here during the WWI and it now helds the remains of 45,000 soldiers.

May they Rest In Peace!

 

I used 7 different exposures in 7 RAWs to achieve these details in the lighting of this scene because of the frontal sun! I blended them manually in Photoshop (without any HDR software). I hope you'll like it!
