Just imagine what a pain in the ass jet black is. It's gorgeous polished and clean, but after that it's maddening.

I much prefer the single slat vs. the double slat. The double slat is too busy looking.

Both pictures are shot straight on Omaha Beach. In the second one, Pointe du Hoc is visible aswell.

Amazing place. Lots of activity everywhere during that whole strech. With american flags everywhere within several miles, american tourists and restaurants everywhere, it felt more like being on the other side of the ocean.
