Le Mont Saint- Michel France

Recently my wife and I took a trip to Paris and central France. Our tour included Paris itself, and central France. The Paris part of the trip was mostly done on foot and by the metro, while central France was seen by bus. Much of the trip included seeing much of the cultural aspects of France, such as the Louvre, several cathedrals in Paris, museums, and several well known tourist attractions. The central France tour was an education in French culture and history.
I brought my Leica M9 with me to document the trip, and take as many scenic photographs as possible, not only for the photography itself, but also as future reference for my watercolour painting. The Leica is the perfect camera for a trip like this. It  is light weight and not too noticeable by people you want to photograph. I brought only one lens, my 28 mm Summicron, and it worked very well as an all purpose lens. It is a wide angle lens, but I tend to take more wide angle shots anyway.
This is a shot of the cathedral at Le Mont Saint-Michel, which is on the coast of France, on a sort of Peninsula. This is a close up of the cathedral at the top of the rock outcrop, in evening light.
