Corbière Lighthouse in the Early Morning, by Ron ter Burg

The Corbière Lighthouse is situated at the Corbière Point, Jersey, the Channel Islands. It was a very windy early morning with a very rough sea. This is not a typical morning for a good landscape photograph, but this did not withheld me from getting out of bed at 4 AM and make the best of the circumstances that morning. The rough sea, the powerful fast moving clouds and the light of the lighthouse reflecting on the path to the lighthouse made me take this picture. The line of the path from the left and the massive rocks on the right lead your eye directly to the lighthouse which is a famous landmark at Jersey.
