Photo of the Week 2019-06-10

With the 75th Anniversary of D-Day last week, I found myself reflecting on my recent trip to the Netherlands, the research that I did leading up to the trip, the experience itself and well ...

Morning trail to Camp Vught

... the memories and emotions stirred yet again.

During an initial review of images from the trip, I had flagged this view of the wooded area near Camp Vught with the early spring growth emerging. The sense of calm and peace that morning starkly in contrast to what it must have been like in '43/'44. This was a place for morning runners, for those bicycling to work or school, for those like me seeking the morning's fresh air (I needed to shake off sleep having just arrived on an overnight flight and still 8 hrs from checking into my hotel where I looked forward to a nap before dinner).

I conclude the series of images made chronicling my pilgrimage to the Netherlands with this collage of Holten Canadian War Cemetery and my grandfather's grave ... may he Rest In Peace.
