Mont St Michel Rear View

Mont St Michel Rear View, originally uploaded by Debbie G.

Here, I was trying to capture the sense of space - the vastness of the bay behind the Mont and the distance you were from everywhere. The sand goes on for miles. It also conveys the quiet - what it must have been like in the old days before hundreds of tourists crawl all over it every day. I liked to think of a knight on horseback thundering over the sand (though he'd have to beware of the quicksand!)
