18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
The hidden beach of Morgat

I shot this photo in winter just after christmas in the small city of Morgat. That day, the weather was very cold, foggy, with a low warm pale sun. When I arrived on the small hidden beach behind the harbourg, I noticed at the background the strange ship in the fog partially masked by the rocks. For a few minutes, the light, the landscape and the foggy athmosphere were creating a very mysterious mood, quite mystical.
