Here are photos from Normandy, France. We visited the area just one week after the 70th anniversary of D-Day in June 2014. We were told by our guide that the anniversary weekend was wall-to-wall people. That would have been nice to see, but it was also nice to not be crowded.

Stuart Gustafson personally took each photograph displayed, and the copyrighted images are owned by him. If you click on a thumbnail image, you will see a larger and more complete picture that opens in a separate window.
