Jane Barnes, Halo of the Mount (Professional Category 2017)

Filled with anticipation to visit this beautiful place in France, sadly on arrival it was pouring with rain. Ducking for cover and trying to protect my camera gear, I explored the interior of the monastery first. After climbing many stairs & arriving at the top of the mount, when I walked outside I was blown away when I saw this majestic vista.
