Dawn colours the sky above placid waters, moored fishing boats and moist mudflats on the River Étel estuary in south Morbihan, Brittany, France. The Île de Saint-Cado, a circular islet linked to the shore by a causeway, was the 6th century AD home of the Welsh early Christian missionary, Saint Cado or Cadoc the Wise, commemorated in the 12th century by a Romanesque church.
Saint-Cado, Morbihan, Brittany, France: raindrops dimple the placid surface of the River Étel estuary with dawn poised to brighten a pale apricot sky over mudflats and small open fishing boats moored near the slim causeway linking a circular islet, the Île de Saint-Cado, to the shore. In the picturesque hamlet of Saint-Cado on the island, there are ancient cottages, home to many generations of fishermen, and a 12th century medieval church built in the Romanesque architectural style. The Chapelle Saint-Cado de Belz is dedicated to the early Christian missionary and Welsh Celtic saint variously known as Saint Cado, St. Cadoc the Wise, St Cadog or Cadocus, who lived here for a time in the 6th century AD.
