Sword Beach, Colleville-Montgomery

Sword Beach, Colleville-Montgomery
This picture of 'Sword Beach' is taken from Collville-Montgomery, looking towards Ouistreham. The strip of coastline code-named Sword Beach for the purposes of the Normandy Landings (D-Day landings) in June 1944 covers the five miles from Lion-sur-Mer to Ouistreham. Here is where British army units, with French and British Commandos, landed on 6th June, 1944.

Appropriately bleak and chill looking.

Strong composition. Love the sharply focused grass in the foreground.
