I’ve always loved how fresh snow can silence everything around you. In such a solemn and sacred place, I can image it would even seem amplified.
Yes, it's already pretty silent without the snow.Especially when you're the only visitor.

Sylvain, these images are truly amazing. Not only because of the subject, but your composition in many of them is outstanding. Have you considered contacting some US based military or veteran organizations so that they might reach a wider audience of veterans? Perhaps Stars and Stripes or similar publications would be interested.
I probably should have said 'reach a wider audience' and left it at that. I think many people would appreciate the photos, regardless of whether they served, or if they have any direct connection to the war. For me, they have a quality that transcends the specific location and circumstances; there is a unique perspective of sacrifice and remembrance. At any rate, I very much appreciate you sharing these and the images you've posted in other threads.
I wish I could see that in person.
Thanks Sylvain
You also did a good summary of Paris I especially like it when Parisian’s can communicate in English but insist on speaking French.
Its their Country so I always attempt not to be the “ugly American” and stay polite.
Have you noticed the same attitude in Brussels? I have never felt welcomed in Brussels.
