Etretat

Etretat
A misty look at this beautiful chalk arch as we follow the fence. It did get brighter and clearer as the day drew on. Such a scene as this demanded a further visit, which we managed almost a week later in the sun but without the flavour we see here.

HFF to all, and enjoy your weekend, Herb
nb PiP for higher view of these cliffs

Herb Riddle club has replied to Nick Weall club
Sure looks that way Nick. At one point you could not see the arch from here. A week later, and there was still some lingering mist. Of course, that suits me down to the ground :)

I had to look especially for this fence and thought of this group whilst snapping it. Probably would have left it out normally. Yes, a sneaky find :)

This photograph of Etretat in the mist is very unusual ...
and extremely well done with the fence giving a wonderful perspective ! *****
Have a nice Sunday, Herb.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Christiane ♥.•*¨`*•✿
I loved Etretat and this mist which is similar to what we see on our Cornish coast. We did see Etretat again in the sun but I liked this better. Sometimes misty shots need something solid in the foreground to give it perspective. Have a great Sunday yourself, Herb

Sure understand your choice, Herb. With some mist it is so much more artistic ...
