Tide Lines at Mont-Saint-Michel

MONT-SAINT-MICHEL, NORMANDY, FRANCE

The bay is held in a narrow range between cloud and water. Dark weather compresses the horizon, leaving only a few bright channels across the flats. Retreating tide has drawn out the sand into long, liquid bands. A bare branch at the edge of frame gives scale to the openness beyond. The scene feels suspended, with land and sea still negotiating the line between them.
