Photographer’s Note
To pay homage to my friend Fabrice and his photograph of this same headlight but under weather conditions much wetter, I decided to publish this one.
While turning a little on the esplanade which surrounds this headlight, I tallied so that one thinks of an outgoing mushroom of grass, and then it is of season.
Good gathering with those which will collect some species in wood and good WE with all.

Technical information concerning the headlight:
The headlight of Biarritz, built of 1830 to 1832, is drawn up on the top of cliff of the Point Martin Saint to 76 meters above the sea level.
It is a slightly truncated tower dominating a building which shelters the engine room, the buildings of service and the housing of the guards. Top of its 248 steps, it dominates the city and its immense panorama extends since the south from the Moors to the Pyrenees.
Telecontrolled since the wearing of Bayonne, it is automated, kept and worth visiting.
Its white fire with 2 white glares 10s is emitted by a lamp with metal halides of 1000 W. Its range is of 26 miles (approximately 48 km).
Its geographical co-ordinates are:
43º 29 ' 383 " NR
01º 33 ' 17 " W

Bonjour Philippe,
En effet, les conditions sont bien différentes.
La vue en contre plongée rend ce phare encore plus imposant.
De très jolies couleurs et de beaux contrastes.
Excellente journée

Salut Philippe! Heureusement que tu nous dis que ce phare est le même que celui posté par Fabrice... la prise de vue est tellement différente!
et ce ciel bleu!!! il vallait mieux y être début août que mi-juillet semble-t-il!
Les couleurs sont magnifiques et l'idée du champignon assez bonne!
A bientôt
Karine

Philippe,
This is a well composed photo framing the lighthouse with the trees. The deep colors and excellent lighting make this a very appealing photo. The sharpness could be a little better here if you had used a higher f-stop creating greater DOF. Still a very nice photo!
TFS,
Asa

Salut Philippe,
Eh eh, je le reconnais celui-là !
Ah, c'est con, on aurait pu se voir à trois semaines près !
Bien composé avec cette contre-plongée.
Merci du clin d'oeil, ce phare va devenir célèbre sur TE, j'ai de mon côté d'autres POV à présenter sur lui.
Bien amicalement,
Fabrice

Salut Philippe,
Deux vues différentes, que j'apprécie également tant elles montrent vos regards respectifs, très intéressants.
Bien vu ce gros champignon, avec ces belles couleurs velviesques.
Bon week,
