This is with a zoom lens, they dont look that close to the naked eye, the gap is about 21miles at this point.

I live in Calais, you definitely see English coast from here, but never that big (only in a sunny/cloudless sky). This picture is definitely taken with a zoom lens. But this is a very nice picture though.
