The same castle, actually an abbey. You can see the details better in this one, too bad that it was being repaired. I searched from wikipedia some interesting things :"The Mount was connected to the mainland via a thin natural land bridge, which before modernization was covered at high tide and revealed at low tide. Thus, Mont Saint Michel gained a mystical quality, being an island half the time, and being attached to land the other: a tidal island." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Saint_Michel

I visited this place as a teenager and went over that thin, natural land bridge. Guess that dates me "before modernization". Yikes!

Lovely shot!

It's tough to shoot this place without sme evidence of the throngs of tourists who pack it during the day. You did a pretty good job here except for the foreground tourbus. It's a pretty place, but is it my imagination or is the photo leaning left?
