Just Goin\' For A Fag

Re: Just Goin\' For A Fag

hmm,

they don't put doors on the ground floor of lighthouses like that. Me thinks someone has been playing about, strange how dry the balcony appears considering it is supposed to be awash!

Must try harder

p.s. the feathering between the water in the foreground against the brickwork is far too obvious, this is a very amateur effort.

ya boo bah humbug

How did they get into them then, they haven't always had helipads?
 
Re: Just Goin\' For A Fag

Looks to me as if the lighthouse is doing about 40 knots upwind. The marvels of modern technology.

In my opinion Plillip Plisson (for tis he) can do no wrong, this, and all his others, are fabulous images.

This version may be, but I have a large framed print in my lounge of this (La Jument lighthouse) which is by Jean Guichard. This is the 'classic' version and I suspect the one shown is a modified copy?

We do do also have a framed print by Plisson of La Phare du Tevennec in a storm, which is totally breath-taking, especially if you've been near it in lumpy weather - as we have!

Speaking of which, does anyone have a photo of the 'Helle Rock' which guards the NW side of the Plateau da la Helle off W Brittany?

I passed that way once in a rising gale, but didn't stop for photos.....

We don't believe you, then - photoshopped photo evidence always needed here as proof, BB! :0

Re: Just Goin\' For A Fag

Agreed!! Fabulous photographs. These are the only two pictures we have in our lounge, there to remind us of the incredible beauty and immense power of the sea.

We 'know' both of the lighthouses so there's a certain deja vu.
