Le Phare de la Vieille.

Les gardiens classaient les phares en trois catégories :
- Le paradis : lorsqu’ils étaient affectés sur un phare à terre.
- Le purgatoire : quand ils occupaient un phare sur une île.
- L’enfer quand on leur attribuait un phare situé en pleine mer où la relève était difficile et la solitude pesante.
Le phare de la Vieille appartient à cette dernière catégorie.


Keepers classified lighthouses in three categories:
- Heaven : when they were assigned to a lighthouse on land.
- Purgatory: when they occupied a lighthouse on an island.
- Hell : when they were given a lighthouse in the open sea, where the changing was difficult and loneliness heavy.
The lighthouse of La Vieille belongs to this last category.

Avec une mer houleuse à souhait pour avoir juste ce qu'il faut d'écume et de vagues.

Nice view of the crashing sea and the lovely light. The light should be automated if it isn't already. V

Awesome capture.
Neil Marcus05-Aug-2019 14:51
Based on this windy, choppy sea an te transfer must be tricky. I wonder how long the tour of duty before a respite. "V"

This looks like a painting from one of the old masters! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Helen Betts05-Aug-2019 12:14
Marvelous light in this fine capture, although one can see why the keepers would classify this lighthouse as "hell." V.
