It started with some distant thunder and lightning, nothing serious for us, in the wee hours this morning. Then I could hear drops hitting the roof windows. I got up and closed them as the rain became more steady. It's still raining at 07h00, and it's not going to be hot today. Yay!
Granville, Normandy. Digitized color slide, January 1992.
For lack of any new photos, here's a shot of the port in Granville on the Cotentin Peninsula in Normandy at low tide. The boats' keels sink into the mud.
So glad you're getting a bit of relief. That's not the usual picturesque harbor shot.
ReplyDeleteSo refreshing over your way, ….the forecast is for showers here by Tuesday after a slightly cooler 30*C tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen a low tide this low, with boats on the mud!
ReplyDeleteIf I’m not mistaken, as those in the Bay of Fundy (Canada), the tides in the Baie du Mont Saint-Michel are the highest and lowest in the world.
DeleteI should have said that Granville is on the Baie du Mont Saint-Michel! LOL!
DeleteSome tide!

DeleteThat is some tide! So happy you have rain.

Delete...and a few days later, we’ll meet at the Hôtel de l’Avenir in Paris. Thirty years ago! Time flies!
ReplyDeleteHeavens I thought this was a photo of the droughts I've heard about
ReplyDeleteHooray for rain. I think chm is right about the tides in Bay of Funday. Something like 28 feet, as I recall. From your picture, it looks as if Granville's might be around 12 feet or so.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I should have said "meters". Looked up the Granville tide tables, and high tide is a hair under 40 feet!! Wowser. (Assuming I read it correctly, it's been a while.)
DeleteMore from the google rabbit hole. Tides in Bay of Fundy can reach just over 50 feet.
