EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the breathtaking beauty of Mont Saint-Michel, an iconic 11th-century abbey located off France's Normandy coast. The photograph, taken on March 20,2015, showcases the abbey standing majestically amidst the English Channel during exceptionally high spring tides. As parts of the French coast remain on alert for the "tide of the century" with tidal coefficients reaching unprecedented levels of 118 and 119 respectively on March 20 and 21, this image perfectly encapsulates both nature's power and architectural marvel. The Mont Saint-Michel appears like a surreal island rising from the water, surrounded by a mystical fog that adds to its allure. Its picturesque charm is enhanced by an urban landscape that seamlessly blends with its natural surroundings. The bridge connecting it to mainland France serves as a gateway into this enchanting world heritage site. Although devoid of people in this particular shot, one can imagine visitors exploring every nook and cranny of this historic masterpiece. The abbey church stands tall as a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship and religious devotion. Pascal Rossignol skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the atmosphere surrounding Mont Saint-Michel through his lens. This print invites viewers to appreciate both its grandeur and tranquility while showcasing how human ingenuity can harmoniously coexist with nature's wonders.
