Description

Caen, France in the Normandy region is a quaint, historic little port city with a big history. This image was taken from the ancient walls of the Château de Caen castle that sits on the hill right in the center of Caen. The castle was built in 1060. Caen is the capital of the Calvados department in the northern part of Normandy.
During the Battle of Normandy in 1944, much of Caen was leveled. Old pictures, show blocks just flattened by the bombs that hit Caen. Much still stands though. An old church built of heavy stone still stands. It's literally visibly crooked but standing. Other buildings throughout town bear the scars of bombs taking out chunks of buildings.
Caen's port opens to the English channel, with Brittan almost directly across that channel. A great little day trip from Caen or visa versa.

wow what an amazingly fabulous piece of work. Normandy is just amazing.

Beautiful image. So happy that they were able to rebuild after the war. My dad was captured by the Germans outside Normandy. I'm sure he saw a lot of destruction, but I hope he was able to capture glimpses of church spires reaching to the sky. He did go on to survive 11 months as a POW and made it home.
