The full-resolution file of this photograph, to print yourself at whatever size your printer and paper will carry. The real file, not a web-sized copy.

Steel grating, one-point perspective, and the raised bascule at the far end of it. This is the original bridge — the one taken in the first minutes of 6 June 1944 — replaced in 1994 and standing in the museum park ever since. Look closely and it still carries the marks the bullets made.
