The story behind this image

The white cliffs of Dover?

Not quite. Right rock, but the wrong side of the English Channel - this is the coastline of Normandy, viewed from Cap Fagnet just above the port of Fecamp.

My wife Liz and I spent a very pleasant afternoon here, strolling along the cliffs during a rare sunny spell which sort of reduced the sea mist a bit, and looking at the views.

Wind turbines are a big feature of this part of the coast, and love 'em or loathe 'em, they do make for great points of interest in a photograph, especially when they line up towards a vanishing point.
