Air Malta travel competition | May 2011

Here's the winning photo for our Air Malta travel snapshot competition for May. The photo was taken by Joseph Borg while travelling in Normandy, France in November 2009. The subject is Mont St. Michel, a tidal island on which the Abbey of Mont St. Michel was built (and the spire of which can be seen in the photo). The photo was shot at night, just before the tide rolled in.

"I was lucky enough that there was a cloud directly above the mount on which the light from the various spot/search lights was bouncing off, resulting in the effect that can be seen in the photo. Mont St. Michel is renound for being a mystical place (this also being one of the suspected reasons as to why the monks chose to build an abbey at this location) and I feel the effect captured in this photo portrays this quite well."
