Le Fort National au couchant.

Le Fort National a été construit en 1689 par l’ingénieur Siméon Garangeau d’après les plans de Vauban et sur les ordres du Roi Louis XIV, en même temps que les remparts de Saint-Malo étaient renforcés.
Bastion avancé de la cité corsaire, il s’inscrit dans un ligne de fortifications qui protégeaient Saint-Malo des incursions anglaises.

So much better viewed in original size.

The fiery clouds lighted up byt the sunlight, conveyed a very strong sense of dynamic motion, like the flames of a fire whipped by a strong gale! V

Personally I think such a gorgeous sky would have been better off without a fort! At least whoever occupied it at one time got to enjoy great sunsets!

This sublime sky of fire, contrasting with the dark silhouette of the fort, is like a survivor of the naval battles that had set aflame the sea in the past...BV.
