The Day of the Invasion
The beach was almost empty, only one couple sitting there, enjoying the peace of the desolent beach.

THEN: Marines from the French Army invades the beach, probably training for how to stop terrorists swimming around within the French territorial borders and beaches...

For sure a special variant from the peaceful (ordinaire) little village Collioure along Cote Vermeille in the South of France.

Another catch with the mobile...

Pity that the marines invaded the otherwise peaceful day of the couple.

Nice documentation of a great contrast.

Hello Jack

The fg red roof makes a striking colour contrast against the blue sea. Good repetition of the raft 'invasion' & frogmen. Superb sharpness, & tfs!

Hi Jack,
Well yes, I guesss it must feel strange to see all these guys arriving on the beach if you're not expecting it. Your Nokia is really top quality and you had y good POV on the scene too. It's just a pity that this green plant is partly hiding some of the boats, but I suppose you couldn't do much about it.
Cheers.

Olá Jack,

This scene makes to remember me a film of the 007.POV excellent, fantastic colour.The French ones go to invade ...The shot is well composed and the sharpness is perfect with well visible details.
Greetings,
Filipe

Interesting spy scene.
