Batterie Longues-sur-Mer. People killed here. People died here. A tractor tows a plough over the fields, back and forth; birds sing, gulls scream. I smell the sea.
I know the guns reached far and were not easily destroyed. However, I’d like to imagine that after the first destructive blows the remaining soldiers realised that their chances dwindled. And ran.
People run around and photograph the cannons. I don’t want cannons; they are not appealing, not even visually. I try to make a picture of this space that stifles me.

The black and white effect finished it. Nice shots.. 😀
Thanks! It’s my favourite film, Kodak’s TMax 400; very versatile. I am glad you like the pictures!
I did. I have a knack for appreciate what other people can do. Positive thoughts always! 😀
Love your images, as usual.
“As usual” sounds sooo good! Thank you very much.
Great place Longues-sur-Mer, and as always I love the way you describe and portray them
Thank you for the kind comment, Chris!
you gave me an idea really for another entry!
i have visited – it is a hugely powerful place
It is, indeed. Thanks for visiting here, Scott!
I like your thoughts and sentiment here and agree cannons are not appealing on any level.
Thanks!
