We drove from Cherbourg in Normandy to Saint Malo in Brittany while the sun was setting. I opened the window and shot this tree. Not two sunsets are alike, and I would love to photograph each single one of them. Photo by: Jacob Surland, www.caughtinpixels.com

lego normandy invasion, 1944/6/6
The operation was ... the largest landing operation in history, the operation of the largest amphibious forces during World War II and the Allied Forces in Germany. It's the largest amphibious operation ever, and it's been called the greatest operation for hundreds of years.
It's the Normandy invasion, which is represented by Lego. It was a very memorable experience when I looked at the movie " Saving Private Ryan ". It's about two months ' worth of production, so it's a piece of work that I've made out of the decaded-down. I also presented this diorama at an exhibition which held in South Korea
The Normandy American Cemetery overlooks Omaha Beach and contains the graves of nearly 10,000 Americans who lost their lives in the D-Day invasion and operations shortly thereafter. Many thanks to these brave men and may we never see the likes of this kind of war again.
Looking out of the Pointe Du Hoc Observation Bunker. This bunker was built at the "point" of Point Du Hoc and was staffed by nine German officers during WWII to direct the gun emplacements defending the beaches at Normandy. Omaha Beach was to the right of this image and Utah Beach was to the left.
The US Army Rangers scaled the cliffs at Pointe Du Hoc, and suffered high casualties, to take out this bunker and the associated gun emplacements.
Beach at Cabourg and Dives-sur-Mer at low tide early in the evening
Cabourg and Dives-sur-Mer in the Calvados department in the Basse-Normandie region of France are popular little seaside resorts of the Flower Coast (Côte Fleurie) on both banks of the river Dives.
It was from harbour of Dives-sur-Mer that William the Conqueror set out on the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, but silting up over the centuries has since left the town well inland from the sea.
The beach belongs today to Cabourg by a bend in the river Dives around Dives-sur-Mer.
West of Cabourg to Arromanches are, the 6th of June 1944, the D-Day Landing Beaches
Strand bij Cabourg en Dives-sur-Mer bij eb vroeg in de avond
Cabourg en Dives-sur-Mer zijn populaire kleine badplaatsen aan de Normandische Côte Fleurie (Bloemenkust) in het Franse departement Calvados (regio Basse-Normandie).
De plaatsen liggen op beide oevers van het riviertje Dives, daar waar het riviertje in de zee stroomt.
Het was vanaf de haven van Dives-sur-Mer, dat Willem de Veroveraar in 1066 vertrok voor de Normandische verovering van Engeland. Door verzanding door de eeuwen heen ligt Dives-sur-Mer niet direct meer aan zee, maar iets in het binnenland. Het riviertje Dives stroomt tegenwoordig met een bocht om Dives-sur-Mer heen waardoor het strand bij Cabourg hoort.
Westelijk van Cabourg tot Arromanches liggen de D-day landingsstranden van 6 juni 1944 van de geallieerden.
