Located in Normandy France where American and British military forces stormed the beach, 6 June 1944, attacking the Nazi forces occupying this and other beaches along the coastline. There are approximately 10,000 men and 4 women buried in the Memorial Cemetary. This sculpture was erected in recent times and pays tribute to the landing 65 years ago!

65 years ago many young men answered the call to free Europe from an evil empire that was called the Third Reich. Many unfortunately made the ultimate sacrifice during operation Overlord or D-Day and the many months to come thereafter. Godspeed my fellow Veterans.

.....like this! dreamstime, sxc.hu, and my own clouds image too.. / I wanted the sky to look a little surreal here…if you’re wondering why the clouds are dipped down so low… “Mama Told Me There’d Be Days Like This” I made this for all of the moms out there – like myself – who pack up for a day of fun at the shore - lake or sea – doesn’t matter - sometimes this one little scene looks ALL TOO FAMILIAR. My 4th of July weekend present to the moms… xoxoxo Claudia

This is a two-part puzzle … er no, make that a three-part puzzle, at Ranald’s suggestion. But let’s start with the obvious question – what have I shot here? And the second question will be revealed when the first part is solved ….. Part 1 solved simultaneously on guess No.8 by Glenda Remaklus and Steve Milner (who RBmailed me the answer). Yes, it’s a World War II-era Supermarine Spitfire. I shot this on the tarmac at Temora Aviation Museum in foggy conditions on 6 June this year. Yes, that’s right – the anniversary of D-Day. Here’s the second part of the question. Why does this aircraft have a connection to William Shakespeare? (Yup, that’s correct!) Part 2 solved by Ranald (comment No. 46) who correctly said that the fighter was to be called ``the Shrew’’ – as in ``The Taming of the Shrew’’, the play by William Shakespeare. But it was called the Spitfire instead (see my note to Ranald below) and it turned out to be one of the most famous decisions in aviation history. THE THIRD QUESTION, as suggested by Ranald is … what mark of Supermarine Spitfire is this? (Thanks, Ranald, for a great suggestion … and yes, there is a HUGE clue in the composition of this image.) Part 3 solved by Thomas Simunsen and Ted Denyer, who both picked the aircraft as a Supermarine Spitfire Mark XVI. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F9.5, 1/350 sec, ISO 200, focal length 70mm. Featured by my co-host in TECHNO LOGICAL, October 2009. Temora6June-7747
