EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the picturesque Petit Minou Lighthouse in Brittany, France. Standing proudly in front of the historic Fort du Petit Minou, this lighthouse serves as a guiding beacon for ships entering the roadstead of Brest. Its strategic alignment with the phare du Portzic ensures a safe route for vessels navigating these treacherous waters. Not only does this lighthouse provide essential navigation assistance, but it also plays a crucial role in warning sailors about dangerous sectors surrounding les Fillettes, submerged rocks within the goulet of Brest. The red signal atop the lighthouse indicates this perilous area, serving as a reminder to mariners to exercise caution. The unique mnemonic "the Minou blushes when he covers les Fillettes" is often used by sailors to remember this important information. This charming phrase adds an element of whimsy and folklore to an otherwise practical navigational aid. Photographer Fred Concha has skillfully captured the beauty and significance of this iconic landmark in his stunning image. With its vibrant colors and impeccable composition, this print transports viewers to the rugged coastlines of Brittany and invites them to appreciate both its natural splendor and historical importance.
