Corbiere Lighthouse
Bank holiday extra,
Good morning everyone I hope you’re having a great bank holiday? The weather is not special and it is extremely windy.
Today we are going to look at the beauty of Corbiere, I’ve always said as a photographer there is always a different scene to be taken down at this beautiful lighthouse, I’ve been there when the wind has been howling and I’ve also been there when there is no wind at all and the difference is phenomenal.
Here are some pictures and a bit more information about the lighthouse… Please share this blog with all of your friends Have a great day everyone and please stay safe

La Corbière (Jèrriais: La Corbiéthe) is 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. However, seagulls have long since displaced the crows from their coastal nesting sites.
The rocks and extreme tidal variation around this stretch of Jersey’s coast have been treacherous for navigation and La Corbière has been the scene of many shipwrecks, including that of the mail packet “Express” on 20 September 1859.
