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.
