Photography->Lighthouses
...one of the most famous landmarks in Jersey UK. It was designed by Sir John Coode and built in 1874 and was Britain’s first reinforced concrete lighthouse. During the German Occupation in WW2, the light was switched out, only turned on when German’s wanted to guide their own ships around the treacherous rocks. The lighthouse was relit for good on 19 May 1945.

This looks so rugged and serene at the same time Patti. Anchored very nicely with the rocks in the foreground and, as large as they are they in no way take away the focus from the main subject here. Very nicely done!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life.
Another great one of this spot Patti. It reminds me of the Guns of Navarone for some reason. Nice history and better photo.

Well I must say this is one fantastic lighthouse picture. One of the best I have seen. I think I have about all of them in my favorites, and this one has just joined them. Thanks for posting this, Patti.

Those really look like rocks that need a lighthouse. I really like the perspective on this Patti.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
Another beauty Patti. Love the texture the rocks are creating with this magnificent light house on the high rock island. Fabulous colours and composition, way to go

That is one lighthouse that is definitely needed with all those rocks. Great scenic view Patti.

Great summer photo...beautiful weather. I really like the shades of blue in the sky and water. I also really like how you included the rocks in the foreground (in great detail too)...they anchor the entire photo. Looks like a great place to be!!

This looks so barren and then a snow white cone rises from the rocks. Really nice and great framing -

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
You managed to pick up so much of the recent history of the island in your three day trip, as well as getting great shots. I don't know how you do it! Only you can compose a landscape like this Fogz, classically done and a great capture of the lighthouse.

"The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others merely a green thing which stands in the way." William Blake
A beautiful shot Patti, a splendid composition (as ever) and with some very interesting rock formations as well. My only bugbear is WHY did they have to build such a blockhouse of an affair down to the left from the lighthouse??? I would have been tempted to edit it out... :)
