Sorry for the delay in responding. I had a heck of a time identifying it, for the same reason. This is not colorized via Photoshop. The closest I have come to seeing something similar is a Zebra Swallowtail, which is normally seen in black and white, but sometimes shown with blue tints. The varieties on my butterfly bush are all more vividly colored than those I have seen in most photos, though. Thank you.

I was reminded of William Blake's The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed With the Sun.

I have never seen that before, but I certainly understand your point! Thank you.

It does me, but I can't figure out whether Sigourney Weaver or Arnold Schwarzenegger were the stars?!?

It's a great shot. Lighting not as good as hoped perhaps.
Thank you! My problem with it is that it is the late afternoon Sun, which is the direct opposite of what would be the best lighting right after dawn. And it was 90 degrees F, with a bit of haze to contend with. Next time, I will rise with the roosters and get the shot I should have taken, to begin with! Thanks, again.

This is a beautiful image and reminds me of one of all time favorite first sentences from Henry Adam's classic "Mont St Michel and Chartres -- " The archangel loved heights".
Love that! Thank you.

A nice size enlargement should be hanging on your wall.

There are only so many "large" photos I can have - we unfortunately have a house with a number of windows and the walls are cluttered with "large" photos, already. But this is a challenge, once I quit fiddling with the PP to make it a bit more presentable. But then as you will probably agree, that is the beauty of creating our own art, particularly with photos: We can always replace them with new items - and the old are still maintained in archival files! Thank you, sir!

Agree with all your comments - and thank you. Your point about the vendors selling for the past centuries is something I had not thought about. That is a GREAT idea to contemplate! Thanks again.

You can walk, but there are free shuttles that get you right to the location. I did walk quite a bit around the area - that is not a problem. The difficulty is walking up and down the streets and stairwells - INSIDE of the place!!!

For a number of years, I plotted and planned and finally got to Mont St Michel for a photo op. And although I waited for the weather to be just what I needed, in that area of the World the weather does what it wants to do on the shortest of notice. The photo is okay, but the light sucks! I blame Mother Nature!!! ...Whoa - was that lightning?!?
I shall return!!!
I shall return!!!
