North Atlantic lighthouses

A spectaculor photographic journey to some of the most remarkable lighthouses along the North Atlantic coast: from the bright orange towers on the ice-bound cliffs of Iceland to the "pepper-pot" lights nestled in the densely forested shores of northern Canada; from the more elaborate constructions surveying the American east coast to the magnificent stone edifices off the rocky shores of France and the British Isles.

Jean Guichard's photographs will amaze lighthouse aficionados and beguile all those interested in the perils of our shores and man's formidable efforts to overcome them.
