Description
The American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer France is situated on the top of the cliff overlooking the famous Omaha Beach. The cemetery, 172 acres in extent, is one of fourteen American World War II Cemeteries constructed on foreign soil. The crosses are oriented Westwards, towards their native land. The precisely aligned headstones against the immaculately maintained emerald green lawn and the omnipresence of the sea convey an unforgettable feeling of peace and serenity.

This is a great composition of the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, Michael, I was there in 2013 - a very daunting place!
Michael McCormack replied:
Thanks Jurgen! It was a humbling experience doing photography there, while at the same time, trying to reflect upon the meaning of the place.
