Pretty interesting! Gotta like the crossfade feature.

I especially liked #5 and #14...stuff in quite the same position.

These photos also tell you something about the French economy. We can long for “the old days” all we want, but the fact of the matter, stuff moves very, very slowly there.

Amazing....

It's been 70 years and the sea level appears to be at the same level!

I visited Normandy in June of 1986. I remember walking down the cliff from the American Cemetery and out to the low water line and looking back at the several hundred yards of open beach and thought: “My God, how did they have the courage to cross this beach?”

Photo #16 is a close family friend (wearing the number 23 on his chest) talking to Ike.

Uncle John survived D Day and went on to fight in several other engagements.

After the war he lived the rest of his life in Nutley, NJ.

He died about 4 years ago and is buried in Burlington County, NJ.

Before he died he gave my sister a large colored poster of that photography which hangs in her home.
