During our honeymoon we spent a few days in Île d'Oléron. On our first day our dear friend Anne took us on a magical two-hour sunset hike along one of their favorite beaches. This one was rather desolate and the petrified forest nearby lent a haunting mood.
I was completely fascinated with the vibrant algae and moss growing all over the place.
The purple and muddy green colors layered upon each other was riveting.
Algae imprints in the sand.
These dried sand "hills" look like an aerial shot of a desert mountain range huh?
