The Mont-Saint-Michel is one of Europe’s most unforgettable sights. Set in a mesmerising bay shared by Normandy and Brittany, the mount draws the eye from a great distance.
This staggeringly beautiful location has long captured the imagination. The story of how the mount came to be a great Christian pilgrimage site dates back to the early 8th century, when Aubert, bishop of the nearby hilltop town of Avranches, claimed that the Archangel Michael himself had pressured him into having a church built atop the island just out to sea.
From 966 onwards, the dukes of Normandy, followed by the French kings, supported the development of a major Benedictine abbey on Mont-Saint-Michel. Magnificent monastic buildings were added throughout the Middle Ages.

Ik ken het, maar heb het nog nooit zo gezien met dat grasland en dat voormalige? slootje ervoor. Je hebt deze foto vanaf een prachtig punt genomen Joop!

PRO

Ik zag ooit een soortgelijke foto, het was even zoeken om die plek te vinden.

PRO+

This is beautiful, Joop . . . but what caused the depressions in the ground?

PRO

It is a creek. After heavy rain the water find its way to the ocean, avoiding the more solid parts of the field.

Ultimate

Love this one!

Thank you Jayne. 😊

PRO

Thank you very much Beth, for selecting my photo as your winner. Much appreciated.😊

Gaaf plaatje Joop. Gefeliciteerd. Inderdaad de allermooiste.
Ik had die foto van de Mont inderdaad al eens op ViewBug zien passeren en vond die toen ook al super. Ik ken dat plekje ook en kan zo voor de geest halen waar die precies is gemaakt.
Over aan maand ga ik daar weer heen. Sinds ze de landverbinding hebben verwijderd ben ik er niet meer geweest. Ben benieuwd.
NB: de kreekjes ontstaan overigens niet door regenwater, maar door terugstromend zeewater bij extreem hoogwater tijdens springvloed en aanlandige wind. Zoals je weet is het getijverschil daar extreem.

PRO

Dank je Roel, ook voor de informatie. Er is nog steeds een landverbinding doormiddel van een prachtige brug. Een plaatje hiervan kan je ook vinden in mijn gallery. Veel plezier volgende maand.
