Mont Saint Michel
Few locations anywhere in the world can compete with the history and beauty of Mont Saint Michel. With the first church on the tidal island being built in the year 709, Mont Saint Michel has more than 1,300 years of history.
Mont Saint Michel has been on my "Grail Locations" to photograph for many years. I had long dreamt of being able to see and photograph the Mont at high tide, surrounded by the water that has protected it for centuries.
I was extremely fortunate in September to finally reach it, and while standing on the tidal flat surrounding the Mont, I was presented a beautiful combination of the sunsetting while the tides rushed in. Three times I had to relocate over the course of 45 minutes as the rising tide drove me back, much like it had drive back the invading English during the 100-year war.
This has become one of my favorite images that I captured on my 2-week long trip through France.
To showcase it's beauty, the image will only be made available as Limited Edition Acrylic Prints.
