I like it Steeve.

Is the lighthouse still operational, or by old, meaning, not operational?

The Canal for the boats (which is just outside the frame on the right) is closed since 1959 (i think). So the Lighthouse still have a light in it but it's for Historical purposes.

I would have liked to post a lighthouse pic taken on a recent trip - it wouldn't be kosher as it was taken with a nonpentax p&s cam.

I hope that c'est bien enough ;- P

Just playing around with my camera this morning before going to work. This is an old lighthouse just beside the old Canal close to my house. The flowers are starting to bloom, I will go see in then next days if there are more of them blooming.

Taken with my 16-85mm with a polarizer.

Really nice series, the lighthouse is in a beautiful environment !

Out of curiosity with which camera did you took the shots ?

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Steeve, that's a nice complement.

The camera is an old canon g10. I think from one of the pics there might be a smudge on the lens. Off to check and clean ;- P
