Colleville s/mer
Amerikanischer Soldatenfriedhof am Omaha Beach
Look upon a thousand white crosses
Listen to the memories of silence
Look upon a dove taking flight
Admire
Admire his flight
(Part of a poem by Jean Goujon , The Paths to Freedom)

Ils sont venus par la mer mais malheureusement ne sont pas repartis. L'alignement de ces croix montant vers le continent pour délivrer notre pays est vraiment une image très forte pour moi. Le ciel bleu, la mer calme et les arbres qui ont grandi donne un sourire. Merci Michèlesibon 14/09/2007 20:52
So schönes Grün und so viele Tote. Grafisch sehr interssant gemacht. Aber das Thema könnte ich mir in SW sehr überzeugend vorstellen.LG Sigi
