Mont St. Michel

I saw a photo of Mont St. Michel and had to go take a look for myself... and it is indeed a lovely place. It's a Second Life build based on the actual Mont St. Michel, a 100 hectare rocky island just off the northwestern coast of France (this bit of geographical knowledge provided by Google a few minutes ago). I had to take a photo...



...and link to this, as Debussy may have been inspired in part by the church on the island.

  

UPDATE: ...and to this, as the inspiration is pretty clear for this meditative piece by Mike Oldfield.
