D-Day photos taken during a 1999 trip to Normandy and Brittany and separated here for those just interested in the D-Day sites. All taken with a Minolta Vectis S-1 camera, most with an 22-80 lens (in APS terms) and some with an 80-240 lens. No tripod, although one would have been helpful on the very cloudy afternoon part of the day. Comments are welcome.
Our approach down to the Normandy beaches after driving from Paris, first to Arromanches. A good starting place for a visit to the D-Day area. From here, drive west to Omaha and Utah beaches or east to the Canadian and British landing areas. To the left of the church steeple you can see a remnant of the artificial harbor built here to supply the invasion forces.
