 The guardians used to call "La vieille" one of the lighthouses of the hell. The current around the lighthouse can reach 9 mph. It is situated between Sein island and "la pointe du raz", one of the most dangerous place to navigate on earth. The photo has been taken with a 500mm from a boat.

Beautiful picture, Love the deep blue of the water, only suggestion I have is to place the tower a bit more off center. Nicely done.

In my opinion, it's a nice photo, but a stretch for this challenge.

Nice exposure. I love the waves crashing beside the tower. I think I'd like to see the lighthouse a little more off centre. Nice image. Thanks for sharing.
