Pegasus Bridge is a bascule bridge built in 1934, that crossed the Caen Canal, between Caen and Ouistreham, in Normandy, France.

The Benouville Bridge and the nearby Ranville Bridge over the river Orne were a major objective of Operation Deadstick in the opening minutes of the invasion of Normandy in D-Day. A glider-borne unit of the British 6th Airborne Division landed, took the bridges intact and held them until relieved. The successful taking of the bridges was key to limiting the effectiveness of the German counter-attack in the days and weeks following the invasion.

In 1944 it was renamed Pegasus Bridge in honor of the operation. The name is derived from the shoulder emblem worn by the British airborne forces, which is the flying horse Pegasus.

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I particularly enjoy creating wide panoramic compositions, HDRs, HDR Panoramas... But not just... Here you will find landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images, I believe them all to be beautiful, and they are for the most part unique. Come in and judge for yourself. W. W. WE CAN CUSTOMIZE ANY PICTURE TO YOUR PERSONAL LIKING AND MAKE IT...
