Today I was browsing through the BBC website just trying to keep in touch with current events and I stumbled across this picture. It was part of gallery put together to remember the 65th Anniversary of D-Day. There were other pictures showing several world leaders and veterans but something about this picture caught my attention more so than the others. I think that the way the person is in focus and the tombstones lined behind her are not. Also the way the flag is blowing and how it lines up perfectly with one of the markers. Overall I just get this very patriotic yet somber attitude from it and I think it really captures what the moment is about.
