Artist's Description
Pointe du Hoc against the sea. Normandy, France.
Panoramic view of Pointe du hoc, the cliffs the Rangers climbed and the only surviving structure, the observation bunker, with the Memorial on top.
Pointe du Hoc is a promontory with a 100 ft cliff overlooking the sea on the coast of Normandy in northern France. During World War II it was the highest point between Utah Beach to the west and Omaha Beach to the east. The German army fortified the area with concrete casements and gun pits.
The battery, a direct threat to the landings at Omaha and Utah, was heavily and repeatedly bombed from the air before D-Day, but the attacks resulted ineffective, so a land attack was planed.
On D-Day (6 June 1944), few hours before the main body of the troops attacked Omaha Beach, the United States Army Ranger Assault Group assaulted and captured Pointe du Hoc after scaling the cliffs under heavy enemy fire.

About Weston Westmoreland
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...
