 Beautiful sunset at Westminster, London, UK
  A stop at Mont St Michel, France. A perfect sunset evening: walk with sheep, watch the sea with seagulls, failed to wait until the tide rose
 Mont St. Michel at sunset while parting and looking back, the entire sacred mountain looks like a sacred being practicing ... tranquility, concentration, and energy flow ...
