Pointe du Hoc

Pointe du Hoc
The area above Omaha Beach near Pointe du Hoc has been left as it was after the D-Day landings. Pointe du Hoc is a promontory which was taken by the US Army Rangers on D-Day who scaled 35 metre cliffs to take the fortifications there after the landings had stalled. The barbed wire in the photo was protecting a gun emplacement.

Histories and images like these are profoundly impactful, and I maintain a sense of optimism that humanity will continue to evolve and find ways to resolve conflicts peacefully.
