La Vielle Lighthouse, Iroise Sea, Brittany, France
One of the most famous of the Brittany lighthouses. Built in 1887,
with great difficulty, on the rock known as "The Old One." The square granite tower is 89 feet tall. White, red and green lights are displayed from 9 panels, 4 seconds on, 1 second off, 4 seconds on 1 second off, and 1 second on and 1 second off.
Located in the Iroise Sea 1 mile west of the Pointe du Raz
The photo was taken from a ferry between Audierne and Ile de Sein, on a clear calm sunny day. Imagine what it might look like in a fierce storm.
The Iroise Sea is an arm of the Atlantic Ocean between Pointe du Raz and Ile de Sein notorious for violent storms and huge waves.
