About this picture

Le mont Saint-Michel est un îlot rocheux granitique d’environ 960 mètres de circonférence situé à l’est de l’embouchure du fleuve du Couesnon, dans le département de la Manche en Normandie, et dont le nom vient de l'archange saint Michel. Avant l'année 709, il était connu comme le « mont Tombe ». Pendant tout le Moyen Âge, il est couramment appelé « mont Saint-Michel au péril de la mer » (Mons Sancti Michaeli in periculo mari). L'abbaye du Mont-Saint-Michel est située sur le mont, et le mont constitue une petite partie du territoire de la commune du Mont-Saint-Michel (wikipedia).

Mont Saint-Michel
As I walked up to this wondrous place for the first ever time, a truly spectacular summery scene was unfolding before me. With Mont Saint Michel and the remains of a recent hay harvest being bathed in golden light, this became my first composition of the trip.

We were visiting Mont Saint Michel rather late compared to the usual tour hoping we could see how the sea covered the base of the mount but we didn’t knew it was low tide season, even so, the view was beautiful, and the abbey was astonishing
