RHH's photos with the keyword: visitors' center

This is the reflecting pool just outside the visitors' center at the American Cemetery near Colleville-sur-Mer and Omaha Beach. We found visiting the D-Day sites and cemeteries to be a very moving and emotional experience.

I believe number on this simple monument at the Omaha Beach visitors' center represents the total number of Allied casualties on D-Day, though the number is disputed and varies widely among experts.

The visitors' center at Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park is a very busy area during the summer and so are the trails near the visitor's center. We tried to avoid the crowds, but I did want a photo of the John Muir quote on the steps. By the time the crowds had thinned a bit, however, the day had become overcast and this was the best photo I could get.
