La falaise d'Aval et l'Aiguille vue de la plage ♥

"The fog is an illusion,
A master of disguise,
Which hides the tangible
Before our very eyes...
It gives an air of mystery
That has long prevailed.
Dangerously intriguing
Is the fog's foggy veil."
.:: Poem (Partial) © Walterrean Salley ::.

A foggy morning in Upper Normandy.
Étretat is a very picturesque town surrounded by steep chalk cliffs (falaises), including 3 stunning natural arches. Despite the reduced visibility, the most famous of the arches (La Porte d'Aval) and the pointed "needle" were breath-taking. The Falaise d’Aval looks as an elephant dipping his trunk into the sea. Standing next to it is l'Aiguille Creuse (Hollow Needle), made famous by Maurice Leblanc. The French novelist created the character of Arsène Lupin, the Gentleman Thief and set his legendary refuge inside the Needle.
