Thanks for posting that link, Mycroft. It's tragic when an historic site is destroyed. What was even more tragic was some of the cold and callous comments posted by some of the people who read the article.

Thanks for the great pics (and all the rest that you do!)
It was 30 years ago, but we also found the locals in Normandy, and also around Verdun, to be very freindly to Americans.
Your photos all seem to have a very distinct look (which I like a lot) - almost a mild sepia tone. How can I get that? What do you do?
Thanks again.
