Pointe du Raz, a photo from Bretagne, West

Photographer's Note

The famous cape of Pointe du Raz (longitude 4,74� W) bears a reputation of being continental France's westernmost point - which is not true. There are several spots in Finisterre which can muster more, and a place near Pointe de Corsan, vicinity of Plouarzel, bears the record with 4,7955� W.

The cape has been selected to be one of 20 "Grands sites de France", landscape sites of outstanding touristical value.

Anyway, the bretonic word raz means a very strong ocean current, which obviously is the case.
If you think to see land on the horizon, you are not the victim of an optical deception: 蝜e de Sein, 8 km off Pointe du Raz.

Taken on slide film with Canon A1, professionally digitalized.

Hello Sven,

Almost not to believe that this picture remained in your archive 38 year! .
Perfect detailed image, with boat and lighthouse.
Nice sharp and clear to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice Sunday,
John.

Hi Sven,
Nice landscape with this famous Pointe du Raz, nice perspective and calm sea, excellent detail with this ship. For the presentation of this old photo maybe more sharpness ... I try a WS.
