EDITORS COMMENTS
Bask in the timeless beauty of this enchanting view of St Michael's Mount, a natural phenomena and historical landmark located in the quaint village of Marazion in Cornwall, UK. Captured in the 1980s, this photograph showcases the picturesque scene of the Mount, which is separated from the mainland only by a manmade causeway that can be traversed during mid to low tide. At high tide, the sea covers the causeway, creating an ethereal and isolated atmosphere for this red-hued, yellow-sandstone fortress and castle. The Mount, with its distinctive blue waters and clear, sunny sky, is a feast for the eyes. The red-roofed buildings nestled at its base add a charming contrast to the lush, green grass and vibrant wildflowers that blanket the causeway. The clock tower, a prominent feature of the castle, stands tall against the backdrop of the tranquil water. St Michael's Mount is steeped in history, with its origins dating back to prehistoric times. It has served as a monastic site, a fortress, and a private residence. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world to witness its natural and historical wonders. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Cornish coastline and the unique beauty of St Michael's Mount. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of nature and the rich history that surrounds us.
