Le Mont-Saint-Michel, rocky, cone-shaped islet in northwestern France, in the Gulf of Saint-Malo, connected by a causeway with the mainland. The islet, celebrated for its Benedictine abbey, has small houses and shops on its lowest level. Above these stand the monastic buildings, many of which date from the 13th century and are considered outstanding examples of Gothic architecture. The entire islet is crowned by the abbey church, about 73 m (about 240 ft) above sea level.

How lovely it is when unexpected blessings come into my life to cheer me up and put a smile into my heart. Help me to pass them on, dear Lord. Fay Angus
FABULOUS. about 6 years ago my husband and 2 of our daughters went to mont st. michel. it was late in october and it was raining when we got there at about 7pm. my husband and i went to take a look. there were 3 cars in the parking lot. it wasn't raining hard and the combination of lights and rain made it truly magical. the next day we went for the big look and tour. again, hardly anyone was there and we loved every second we spent. when i saw your photograph it brought it all back. it is the best. they told us you couldn't walk in the sandy area where the tide comes in unless you were with an experienced guide. QUICKSAND!!! glad you're back! jen

not writing thank yous feels really strange. i guess i'll just say THANK YOU now!
Please Visit My Gallery
This is perfectly captured, on a nice day too! I did visit this place. I was struck, if not fascinated by, the sheer number of artists peppered around its perimeter, all looking up to the mount. Was beautiful to walk amongst their canvases and sketch pads and see their eccentrism as well as their impression of their subject. Anyway, had you not posted it, I wouldn't have had that nice memory. Thanks for taking such a nice picture of it!

~"In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths" (Prov. 3:6).~
Ja, ik kan me dit nog herinneren uit m'n kindertijd, ik moet iets van 5 of 6 zijn geweest toen ik hier ook was.
Het is een mooie foto, maar toch altijd weer jammer dat die oude gebouwen waar ook ter wereld altijd in de steigers staan als je ze wilt fotograferen.
Ik will zelf al 3 jaar een kerk in Bern fotograferen, maar die staat nog steeds in de steigers. Bedank voor deze post.

i remember how it was in the old days
we would go outside in the grass and lay
down next to each other where we'd stay
up all night and talk to each other this way
we used to go everywhere together
doesn't matter if it was poor or fair weather
you asked me if i'd cheat i said never
i know i messed up but i'm gonna make it better
