Le Phare du Petite Minou Coastal Lighthouse

     For over 200 years this 26 meter (85 feet) lighthouse has stood at the opening to the narrows leading to the town of Brest of the French coast. But time and the revenges of salty air and ocean storms have taken their toll on the structure. This image was taken during one epic sunset prior to the beginning of a two year restoration project that involved the removal of a 500kg copper roof and the light itself by helicopter.
