This island in Normandy dates from ancient times. When the tide is out it would be accessible, but when the tide came in it was cut off from the mainland. There is a walkway now to make it accessible. It's been a monastery since the 800s. Fascinating!

The small dots in the second photo are people walking on the sand...

Thanks so much. I actually posted them because I saw a similar picture on the HDR page and was curious if it was the same place ( it was listed as St. Michael's Island). I found out it was and so the post here because I couldn't put them on the HDR page...this additional picture is at the top...

Well, thanks!

My grandpa was a rail road man. He worked for the Long Island Rail Road and we would get to ride for free!

Thanks for posting these shots eye707, very nice and the sand shots show the scale.

The sunset shot looks extremely calm and peaceful, well captured, I think it's my favourite.

This is the Mont St Michele in France, my image was St Michaels Mount in Cornwall, UK. I didn't previously know there were two very similar places so thank you for that.

Here is a link with a bit more information about the two http://www.christopherlong.co.uk/oth/msm-smm.html

I'm not sure I would explain it correctly, but here's the address http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/s-107-1.html

If you look at the All Sections link on the left side of the home page, you will see it listed in there. Fascinating stuff!

Thanks for the compliments! I had a strange feeling that I misinterpreted your message, and your photo didn't look quite like mine (steeple), but I was so excited to have my memory jogged about that vacation that I just went ahead and posted. Fascinating information you sent regarding "your" island. And now it's another reason to get back over to England.
