St. Michael's Mount

Cornwall's St. Michael's Mount; yes, England has one too,
not as large, not as well known, but there it is, on the south

Cornish coast, and we saw it on a cloudy November 3;

from the mainland; legend, as well as medieval chroniclers,

hold that the sea did not encroach until the 11th or 12th

centuries, AD; global warming

Up closer

Village of Marazion, linked to the island by a man-made

causeway, passable only at low tide

People on the causeway

Kite-surfing nearby

Monetized version; two nights later we were parked on a

high ridge and awoke to this scene in the distance
