The island of Mont Saint Michel off the coast of Normandy in France.
It was a day of changeable weather, sunshine and threatening skies in May 2024.
This island had been on my to-do list for some time, and this day was actually photographically perfect.
No harsh sun rays but beautiful light shining on the abbey.
The abbey itself was beautiful, I took many great photos inside, but the island itself is very touristy.
Lots of shops with all the same figurines and other 'junk'
Fortunately, then, the abbey made up for a lot, lots of stairs were part of that.
Originally accessible only at low tide, these days a narrow bridge runs from the mainland to the island.
There is even a free shuttle bus running from the main car park, walking is quite manageable in 15 to 20 minutes.
In short, I'm glad I saw it with my own eyes and got some great photos, always very nice for a photographer.
My great passion is portrait photography, especially children and the elderly,
but especially in Fine Art photography, I can lose myself completely.
Beautiful photos that tell a story...
