The day after Photo

Photographer’s Note

June 7th, the "stars" were gone, all speeches ended.
Only the sea and the sand surrounding the last vestiges of what was the port of Arromanches, which feeded the allied forces after their landing on June 6th 1944.
This box landing on the sand is one of those who were towed from England. 65 years later they are still there just in order to remember that lot of young peoples form different contries died there.
I post this picture a little bit late but I particularly like the serenity that emanates from a this quite sea and clean sand.

always reassuring to see empty spaces. i like the quietness in the picture. the structure thingie adds interest. your note is cryptic (or maybe i am more clueless than i know). is that a boat in the distance? thanks for sharing.

Bonsoir Jean-Pierre,
J'aime beaucoup cette image simple, très équilibrée, avec une grande maîtrise de la lumière.
La symétrie plage / ciel donne une grande tranquilité à cette plage qui connut les horreurs, une image paisible et noble. Bravo !
Marion

Bonjour Jean-Pierre,
yes, a very correct word in the description: this scene is filled with serenity... I like the composition in which the shape of the clouds in the sky matches the remains of spindrift on the sand in the FG.
Kind regards,
Elena
