La Corbière can be found at the extreme south-western point of Jersey, in St. Brelade. It is probably the most photographed landmark of the channel island, and is known for its lovely panoramic views and the extreme tidal activity. Victorian engineer Sir John Coode is responsible for the design by which the lighthouse is built. It was the first lighthouse in the British Isles to be built of reinforced concrete and was lit for the first time on the 24th of April, 1874. The beam of light has a reach of 18 nautical miles. which is a brilliant distance. The lighthouse finally became automated in 1976 and was no longer manned.

Brilliant Bradly… love the contrast.
Bradley Shawn ... replied
Thank you so much. As the light was fading, I decided to stay instead of leave as everyone else seem to be doing. I managed to get this shot. I did lift the shadow a small bit, but this is true to what it looked like. A simply stunning evening. I do so like this place. I appreciate your kind compliment.
