Normandy beaches BRRRrrr

I am in Normandy waiting for the ferry .
Have been walking on Juno beach .
Its so peaceful this scene of so much death and carnage .
And unlike that day so long ago
Its freezing cold .

By total coincidence I have just put on the TV and it's playing The Longest Day showing the invasion of Normandy including the landing at Juno beach
Less than two days ago I was on that beach.

I'm sure that was a moving experience. It's hard to imagine with all that beauty, but hallowed and hellish ground for sure.
