Herb Riddle's photos with the keyword: La Corbière

A rather nice view here over towards Guernsey from the south west coast of Jersey. Have a great day.

This lighthouse, the only lighthouse on the Channel Island of Jersey, poses problems for people like me, Inasmuch that there are just too many great viewpoints of it. I took loads of photographs in the couple of hours of being there but if I had the chance to return in the golden hour, a stormy day or when there is snow or ice then it might take a lifetime to satisfy my photographic instant love for it and its surroundings. Here is a capture that tries to justify why it is here in the first place, being surrounded by vicious rocks that would tear any approaching boat apart in seconds. Its main job however is to steer ships safely to the main harbour of St Helier just a few sea miles away. La Corbière is significant as the first lighthouse in the British Isles built of concrete, completed in 1874 Essential full screen

The lighthouse from sea/ground level is an impressive sight even from this distance. The rocks I am stood on are twice a day covered by the sea. (Taken some days after the shot in the PiP) Enjoy full screen.

Another view from the amazing La Corbière peninsula. Enjoy full size.

A bench placed for great views towards the lighthouse but the views to the side as we see here are still good with these rocks. PiP HBM, enjoy the day.

A look at Corbiere on Jersey with its most beautiful coastal outlook, but looks can be deceiving as this memorial monument attest. See PiP. Best full screen

Jersey, one of the Channel Islands: Sit and enjoy with me this most wonderful sight. The lighthouse of La Corbière is set on a tidal island out at sea, surrounded by dark rock. It is at the extreme south-western point of Jersey in St. Brélade. The name means "a place where crows gather", deriving from the word corbîn meaning crow. You see it here at low tide and accessible via the tidal causeway. Have a great day.
