Kermorvan Lighthouse, Brittany, September 2016
The square-shaped lighthouse at Kermorvan was built in 1849. Located at the extreme tip of the Pointe de Kermorvan, which protects the north side of the harbor of Le Conquet, it is the most westerly lighthouse on the French mainland.
The lighthouse still operates but is under remote control from Brest. The tower is not open to visitors but there are great views from the coastline and from the ferries to the Île d’Ouessant.

A colourful note: there are two cadet colours out there, cadet grey and cadet blue. Cadet grey was originally used as a name for a type of military issue uniform, in this grey blue colour, but for me is more the colour of north European sky.
Cadet blue is normally a more blue-green colour, but is the name of the grey-blue Crayola crayon that joined their ranks as part of the comprehensive 64 box in 1958.

What a location for a lighthouse. And you captured Kermorvan Lighthouse beautifully at the western-most point.

Aren’t the slim human figures unusually tall in relation?

Well, I hadn’t thought of that. The one at the bottom certainly looks tall – either he was, or its just that the coast is just rocky not mountainous

Very nice light….of the two the landscape format is the one I prefer, it sets the scene for me 🙂

That’s interesting to know. I do too, but I almost always prefer landscape. I only liked the portrait version as it showed the walker up closer.

Comment wasn’t made as a critic…just an observation of the two images. If I hadn’t seen the landscape version I would have been very content with the portrait. 🙂

Don’t worry, I didn’t take it as criticism. It was great to get concrete feedback 🙂
