Lovely picture. The weather helps!

 

This is a wonderful perspective, with the monastery isolated and emerging from the field. Chartres can be approached from the surrounding fields, and the same way, as you approach, the cathedral rises from the field. Just wonderful.

Michael thank you for watching the picture and post a comment

I took a road to the west of Mont Saint Michel,

The weather was almost stormy and I was walking to get closer to the Mont.

After there's the shifting sands :D and the risk of rising tide

The landscape was very beautiful after 40 minutes of walking, it is completely clear with nothing around

Nice photograph.

The only way to approach Mont St Michel these days appears to be on a shuttle bus from a park and ride car park.

Thank you for watching and for your nice comments

Yes Steve , the shuttle is good but it takes a long time and it's expensive parking !

before 1990, people arrive just down the Mont Saint Michel :)

The latest news is, it will be changed so that people are no longer waiting. There is a political problem and profit

because it was decided to favor private friend of former french President. :mad:

I was in the area last week with some friends. We were going to go to MSM, but changed our minds when we saw that there was a park and ride scheme - to be fair we'd all been there before.

 

The last time, I parked by the causeway and stayed at a hotel on MSM itself.

 

It seems there are 10 buses an hour and each bus holds up to 100 people. I can't see that being enough, and I dread to think what the waiting times would be in the high season.

thanks Henry :)

 

I would have wished you better weather .....

 

a pity it lies away so far....

it could be a castle from an imagination adventure...

Great thanks Ingrid for watching and posting your comment :)

..... after the big straw rolled in b&w for you ,here the cows who eats salty grass and give us good milk and butter from Normandy ...

Photo taken at the East of Mont Saint Michel this time in good weather, on the other side of the bay.

Ingrid for the "castle of the imagination", I will post another for you ! :)

Steve,

The waiting time is about 20 to 30 minutes in high season , so is too long and people complain in the heat,so I think it is poorly organized :mad:

Henry, very nice picture with the the first as my favorite and contextually, it dominates the surrounding landscape.

Me too , it is the fault of Ingrid if I like the black and white now

Thank you Karl for your comments

Thank you Stuart and Paul for watching and for your comments.So i noticed that you like picture 1 and 3

I also like the black and white but the color is useful when you want to see nature ....in color :) purple flower > green grass > sheep > and Mont Saint Michel :)

These are wonderful, particularly the first image with the contrast of the hay bale in the foreground.

 

Dee.

Merci Dee

Thanks for your comment .

Thanks also to Dhoki,Hifigraz,Hawinkler,Wolf,MPerson for looking

 

The weather is very changeable in Normandy even in summer

 

I maintain what I said earlier, sometimes :)the nature is so beautiful in color

 

..... a little ray of sunshine that appears again through the black clouds (first picture)

and on second picture (that will please Ingrid) :) , it's sunny and the weather is gorgeous 22 degrees Celsius

Wheat are cut !

 

These last two pictures are taken with Apo Telyt 135 mm and M9

Thanks for looking

Merci Henry -

Your photos awaken in me a longing for one of my favorite places in the world.

I dream of the change of flood to low tide in the evening light.

Hi Guenther, thank you for your comments :)

For you I'll post two pictures:

-the first where you can not see water in the bay,with the Mont Saint Michel in background

 

Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here…

-the second, in b&w for Ingrid where the water begins to rise and move towards the coast (where I take this picture , 3 hours after the first picture with the rising tide)

That is impressive because sea water rises very quickly, advanced 1, 5 meters per second so quickly, and it is not advised to stay there because the water rises high :)

there is also quicksand:mad:

an idea of ​​the rising waters in this video:

 

Regards

For these two pictures M8 Apo Summicron 90 asph 90 because I'm afraid that the water comes over me ! :D
