Peace Day: Impressive work of art at Normandy beach

[Jimbuna]

Found this on another forum and I found it to be most impressive :cool:


A pair of British artists have created this stunning installation of 9,000 silhouettes on a D-Day Landings beach to mark international Peace Day.
The project, named, 'The Fallen' is a tribute to the civilians, German forces and Allies who lost their lives during the Operation Neptune landing on June 6, 1944.

The design was the brainchild of Jamie Wardley, 33, and Andy Moss, 50.
Together with a team of volunteers the pair travelled to Arromanches beach, Normandy, to create the silhouettes, which were individually drawn into the sand.

Saw it on BBC site this morning, impressive work and a shame the tide had to return. :salute:

Now on a lighter note 'typical Yorkies, after a free holiday to France'.
