The mulberry fruit is a multiple, about 2–3 centimetres (3⁄4–1+1⁄4 inches) long. Immature fruits are white, green, or pale yellow. The fruit turns from pink to red while ripening, then dark purple or black, and has a sweet flavor when fully ripe.

A popular stop for visitors in Little Italy, Mahattan, in NewYork City is this attractive wall painting created bby artist Tristan Eaton in August 2013. Located on Mulberry Street on the side of the Caffe Roma, pedestrians stop by the mural to take pictures and selfies. I had to wait a spell before I got this photo without anyone standing in front of the mural. If you like this image all credit goes to the artist, Tristan Eaton.

I composed this photograph from the heights overlooking what was once Mulberry Harbour, a massive temporary harbour and engineering marvel that was used to provide logistics support to the Allied armies in the Battles of Normandy. It is now a quiet place, marked mostly - but not totally - by its beauty. For those interested, more information about Mulberry Harbour lies below.
The Mulberry Harbour, an artificial harbour of great historical significance, lies wrecked but intact to this day. An engineering masterpiece, but so simple. You can observe the spread from the cliff-top and then walk down into the centre of Arromanches and touch (even step inside) some of relics of this harbour at low tide. They are sort of ruined, modern architecture of not much more than steel and concrete.
Mulberry harbours were two temporary portable harbours developed by the British Admiralty and War Office during the Second World War to facilitate the rapid offloading of cargo onto beaches during the Allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Designed in 1942 and then built in under a year in great secrecy, within hours of the Allies successfully creating beachheads following D-Day, sections of the two prefabricated harbours and old ships, to be sunk to create breakwaters, were being towed across the English Channel from southern England and placed in position off Omaha Beach (Mulberry "A") and Gold Beach (Mulberry "B").
The Mulberry harbours solved the problem of needing deep water jetties and a harbour to provide the invasion force with the necessary reinforcements and supplies, and were to be used until major French ports could be captured and brought back into use after repair of the inevitable sabotage by German defenders.
Comprising floating but sinkable breakwaters, floating pontoons, piers and floating roadways, this innovative and technically difficult system was being used for the first time.
The Mulberry B harbour at Gold Beach was used for 10 months after D-Day, and over 2.5 million men, 500,000 vehicles, and 4 million tons of supplies were landed before it was fully decommissioned. The still only partially-completed Mulberry A harbour at Omaha Beach was damaged on 19 June by a violent storm that arrived from the north-east before the pontoons were securely anchored. After three days the storm finally abated and damage was found to be so severe that the harbour had to be abandoned and the Americans had to resort to landing men and material over the open beaches.
I'll be in Random Mode here for a while, posting whatever strikes my fancy, rather than an organized series...
I picked a Mulberry leaf and held it up to the sun with my left arm while I shot with my right hand. Leaves are always striking when they're backlit like this. Their veins and segments really pop out with definition and light.
Enjoy!

Looking back 75 Years WW2. Normandy, France.
D-Day, June 6, 1944. WW2.
The Mulberry Harbour was built for D-Day in June 1944. The Mulberry Harbour’s purpose was to ease and speed up the unloading process so that Allied troops were supplied as they advanced across France after breaking out from Normandy. The success of D-Day could only be maintained if the advancing troops were supplied and more men landed. The Mulberry Harbour was one of the greatest engineering feats of World War Two.
