The Bay of St Malo can pride itself to have one of the greatest Spring tides in Europe, thanks to its geographical position. Spring tides are especially strong tides (they do not have anything to do with the season Spring). When the Atlantic Ocean is caught in the bottleneck of the Channel, the sea waves rush through very quickly and at an extremely great force. The tidal range is the difference between high and low tide - on average it is more than 40 feet around St Malo.
So a walk to the Citadel was a fun challenge in the early morning!
Don't forget to check out "Watery Wednesday" for some more fantastic watery pictures from around the world!
My word! I've never seen anything like this, all those fancy houses right there! They must be very damp and musty with those waves right beside them!!! The pictures are beautiful, but it seems like an impossible living situation! Better to just visit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous birthday present, Debbie. I can't imagine what will come next!
ReplyDeleteYou took some amazing shots of the shoreline.
Re, my photo was taken in Florida. There are many rocky coastlines here.
What a wonderful birthday present. The pictures of the waves crashing against the seawall are wonderful. But I like the beach at low tide as well.
ReplyDeleteOh My... Bet you all got wet wandering around there... What a fabulous place --and a great birthday I'm sure. That is interesting about the tides..... Wonder how dry those buildings on the water stay??????
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful time. Looks like a wonderful place to visit.
