One of the great icons of France, Le Mont St Michel taken in evening twilight.
Canon 5D, 35mm, 30 seconds.
Note from my blog
"After the Eiffel Tour, this would have to be the most recognizable icon in France. It’s actually located just within the border of Normandy rather than Brittany. Interestingly, in all the signage, it is referred to prefaced by the definite article. Le Mont Saint Michel has captured my imagination since the genesis of my travels and photography when I saw it on the cover of a Lonely Planet guide. It’s taken seven years to finally arrive at this destination. I would never have imagined back then that my first experience of the place would be wandering around the bay in the dark in deep mud, avoiding quicksand and keeping a watchful eye on the incredible tides."

What a gorgeous rendition of this place. Excellent leading lines in your comp, and the blue/yellow color palette is marvelous. One of the best I have seen from here.

are also a plus giving some diversity and texture to the FG. I like the varying blue tonal qualities.
The lit tower helps to put this composition over the top.
