EuropeanTravelers > Bob Johnson  > Travel > D-Day in Normandy
D-Day photos taken during a 1999 trip to Normandy and Brittany and separated here for those just interested in the D-Day sites. All taken with a Minolta Vectis S-1 camera, most with an 22-80 lens (in APS terms) and some with an 80-240 lens. No tripod, although one would have been helpful on the very cloudy afternoon part of the day. Comments are welcome.
