Hello Everyone, Here is a shot taken at Sunrise in French Brittany on the Finistère which is the top west extremity of Brittany. This shot was taken at the top of the bunker close to the lighthouse. As many of you know there is a few bunkers on this part of France which were built during WW2. I could take some heights in order to enjoy this very special footbridge and use it as an obvious leading line. At the same time this height gave me the opportunity to feature the crushing waves on the right side when the warm light of sunrise illuminates the lighthouse and the footbridge. Several exposures were blend together for this shot. I took this early sunrise shot in company of my 3 kids during our overlanding adventure through the Atlantic coast. We planned originally Portugal and Galicia-Asturias but after watching some coastline photos my son insisted in changing plans and head up to French Brittany skipping a little Spanish Atlantic coast (for this time anyway). We did only 2 nights in Spain after Portugal because 1- Spain is beautiful and 2- to add enjoyment to the trip. Weather is much tougher in French Brittany, and it can be quite tricky for many shots, but it offers more variety after Portugal. Cheers!
