The first time I saw this photograph , it was in a doctor's office. It's nice to see the Lighthouse keeper alive and well.
Same here! Saw it in my chiropractors office, It gave me the urge to put down my phone and to just look at it.
Me too, it was in a doctor’s office. The photograph was mesmerizing.
@@rm5146 This epic photograph is also displayed in the intensive cares quarter of the public hospital in Geneva, it has been there for years.. Just at the entrance of it.
This is actually kind of sad :(
RIP Lightkeeping profession - thank you to all the lighthouse keepers that helped bring our people home alive for so many years
They're all dead. They can't hear you. As in ALL jobs, it was done for the money. No altruism in it.

I look forwards to episode 3, about bears & woods, and episode 4, about popes and catholics.
I like this presenter. He loves lighthouses and I respect that.
Very fantastic Photo, i loved It.
Thank TH-cam to show It.
Neil Oliver is a great presenter 👍🏼
I used to be an adventurer like you, then I became a lighthouse keeper
Lighthouses rule, you don’t like lighthouses you suck
Turns out I do too!
This is in tiktok and lots of young folks are curious
Yup that’s why I’m gere
Sameee
SAMEEEE
xD
That’s why I’m here!
Magnificent photo!!! I'm glad he was able to give it to the former lighthouse keeper and get his perspective.
I have this picture hanging in my lounge room. I have had it since 1989 and I am always fascinated by it. So glad I know the story behind it, and have seen the real man himself now. Wow. What still gets me is just how casual he was...look at him....hand in his pocket !! Ha !! I know he didn't see the wave, but he still knew it was a very windy and heavy sea day, and yet so casual. Love it !!
I have it on our Log Wall next to our Fireplace in our den. I’ve read online that the picture has sold over 500 thousand times!! our picture is pretty big but it’s not quite as big as this wall poster picture. That this lighthouse keeper was given.
@@garlandremingtoniii1338 mine is the same size as the one the lighthouse keeper got given.
@@DT-ge8gd That’s outstanding.
Me too !
I have mine above my bed. A truly fascinating image! Loved hearing its story ✌️
I've marveled over that remarkable, iconic photo over the years...in many locations in my travels. Like others, I always wondered about the fate of the lighthouse keeper at that moment and the circumstances behind how the photo was created. This video was fascinating to hear the story behind it...and the outcome. As a photographer myself, all of us strive to take that one indelible, timeless image that will outlive us. Some of us accomplish it...most don't. One motto I've always followed over the years is when someone asks me how I decide where to be to stand when taking a photo - I metaphorically tell them to look at where everyone else is - and stand somewhere else.
It definitely is a good photo/story to know the ending of.
My ex-wife bought me that picture sometime around 1999 for my man cave. Great picture. Now I know everything about it...serendipitous.
my late wife got me mine for Christmas in 2007. It hangs on the wall in our guest bathroom which has a Nautical theme. It's often commented on by lots of people that see it for the first time.
No
Tyler Perez prick
Same story for me..
Where from ????
From a young age to the present day I wish to spend a year in a lighthouse.
For me it is a symbol of patience and withstand the storms of life. And a guide for the safety of others
Thank

I would really like to understand what you wrote because honestly, I didn't understand anything despite the TH-cam translation, but nevertheless I put 👍 for your two comments
I purchased this picture of the lighthouse in 2005 from Ikea and had it over my sofa for seven years. I loved it and i sold it in a yard sale for $50 😁
Facebook needs a remember/bookmark feature. I can't lose this video. This picture meant so much to me having it on my wall in giant poster form in my late teen/university years. What a gem finding this video. Absolutely love these guys for doing all of this.
You can save videos, symbol next to share below the vid itself
@@windingdriveway Nice. Thanks for that!
I’ll reply so you can see this
Super Merci pour ce reportage magnifique , rien n'est plus beau que la Bretagne parole de corsaire :)
It took me 7 years to stumble upon this and now it's one of my favourite pictures I must pass on.
Loved this short story with so much positive comments...wish I could've had my OWN copy of the photo just to share the experience with everyone here...great job indeed!!
An iconic photo - and I’m glad the keeper was not harmed in the making of it. I thought he was for many years.
Waited all my life to hear the story behind the most epic photo I ever laid eyes on as kid. Awesome 👏
@Stevey B I’ve wanted to know the story behind the photo. There was no internet in 1991 and basically impossible to found out that information. So yeah I have waited all my life to find out the story.
@Stevey B why are you sad?
Is it because are a negative person?
@Stevey B That’s the nicest compliment anyone has ever given me. Thank you.
@Stevey B your comments say a lot about who you are as a person. Projection.
You came to troll. You got what you wanted.
@Stevey B be nice
Absolute Iconic photography, capturing a surge and wave of emotion!
Tik tok really be having looking up random ass videos 😂
There’s such a romanticism about the lonely Lighthouse Keepers.. keeping loved ones safe. Thank you.
I've had that photo hanging in my house for over 25 years and I still get a thrill when I look at it.
I remember this photo! Incredible timing. So he didn't know the wave was coming and for some strange reason a helicopter is outside. He opens the door to see what heck is going on and BAM, he is famous. That is funny. Thank you Sir.
Finally!! I've always wondered if lighthouse keeper survived. I've had "La Jument" lighthouse picture for over 25 years. Everyone asks me the same thing including where the lighthouse is etc. It's survived over 18 different moves through four states because it's one of my favorite pictures. Thank you for posting!!
Wow, this place is amazing! Aerial views of the Lighthouse Great views.🤠🤠
Hands up who came here after watching 'Beacon 23'? lol. I've seen this picture 100 times over the years, and always wondered about it, now I know. Thank you for sharing :)
I was given a large, framed print of the wave crashing into the stalwart lighthouse. I never knew where it was until now. Thanks for posting! Great narration!
It's mostly what bought me here ?
To know more about how and why the picture was taken.
I feel it's amazing how the Lighthouse could withstand the continuous pounding from the sea.
Who's here because of the vid from tiktok? 😆
What a great story and encounter between the lighthouse keeper and the plucky photographer who's helicopter noise made the keeper so curious he opened his 'front door' to see who was there! I had this photo on my wall for many years, until it faded. Here's a link to another amazing lighthouse adventure of Ushant:
Insane Shift Change of French Lighthouse Keepers
The change of shift at Kereon lighthouse in the Iroise Sea, the last French sea lighthouse to become automated 10 years ago.
Mr Windchaser, the video in the link you provided is no longer available, it says the account was terminated, bummer! 🌴😎🌴
Your link is outdated but here is the new one: th-cam.com/video/64dfpnhsu1g/w-d-xo.html
I bought that picture back in 1999 for my late husband he loved that picture.
Sorry for your loss Marilyn. He clearly had great taste.
I also bought it for my late husband around the same time. Was a very large framed print with a scripture verse placed under the photograph. Always thought it was an amazing photograph and thought about what someone had to endure doing that job. ❤
First saw the photo in the mid 90's, and have always been curious about the keeper, and whether he was safe after that huge wave. I now know the answer. Thank you so much!
A very good & enjoyable story of the lighthouse, I've always enjoyed lighthouses - and hearing about them. So thanks very much 😀👍🚁
Wow
Love lighthouses and their history
Magnificent structures built by brave men and populated by men of strength and character
Awesome footage and this is from a series called 'Coast'
I've always wondered about the background of this picture. Having been a lightkeeper on the west coast of British Columbia for 45 years. I hope to get a copy of this for my wall one day. Thanks for the story. And yes our lighthouses are still manned here in Canada.
your comment is a great small story. which lighthouse did you keep if you don't mind? I saw that photo when I was in elementary and always wonder about where was taken, from where...with a telephoto, who was the guy and so... watching this mini-documentary and reading all these nice comments made my day.

Merci pour voutre video . Bonjour de Nouvelle Orleans, USA
The Bretons 💪in the Oceanstorms are like Sahraouis in the Sandstorm or Himalayan Sherpa in Snowstorm.....
They just feel good in their element.
When "normals classics" people just pray to survive😖
We are the Frenchtastics 😘🙋🏻♂️with love.
NB : photographer and helicopter pilot was amazing to 👏
Thanks to alls
Amazing!!!…I was a Lighthouse Keepers daughter…my Great Great Grandfather , my Great Grandfather, my Grandfather, my Father were all lighthouse keepers in Australia…we lived on an Island..my Dad lived on 2 Islands..I didn’t like the lifestyle as a child but would love to be back there at anyone of them now as an older woman..
Tell us more!! Where were they?
I'm simple. I see a lighthouse - I click LIKE.
a lighthouse in the mid of a storm, is the image of faith and strength inside ourselves! there is not any other worth fortune, but the resistance to the onslaught of cotidian life itself as the la vieille Jument in the sea of Iroise! C'est très belle vidéo!
A beautiful awesome story! This Lighthouse truly is amazing in it's masterpiece.
I had that framed poster when I was married. It hung in our living room and I always dreamed of what it would be like to live there, at least for a time. That was over twenty years ago and I still think of what it would be like. I can only imagine the feeling of riding out a big storm within the safe confines of a lighthouse like LaJument...it would be the ultimate "bucket list" experience for me.
Thanks for answering the questions I’ve had since the first time I saw the picture hanging in my doctors office in Maine many years ago.
I have this picture in my home office. With Covid and home working, lots of people have commented on it. Fantastic to learn more about the back story. Thank you!
"ow ar yooo?"
"virrry will"
First seeing that picture decades ago I was drawn to it’s ominous beauty, but like many, I too feared the guy met a terrible fate. Thankfully not so and what a great story.
freaking awesome.
I have that pic on my wall .
great to learn the history of it .
:-)
Have seen this picture to, amazing. So nice to be able to hear from the then light house keeper himself and the photographer.
Glad to know the story...have had this print in my office for 20 years or more, it is still awesome to look at every day.
That picture hangs on our wall located just five miles down the road from our local lighthouse on the less treacherous waters of Lake Michigan.
What amazes me is that lighthouses stand against those waves!😱
The lighthouse had been built hard! +10.
That was amazing I love that pic! Thank you for making this video!
Wow these guys must have had nerves of steel to put themselves in that situation. Amazing picture and story
Salute for those who have been worked at light house thru out the years.
Thank you. Like so many others, I wondered what happened to the keeper after seeing that incredible photo.
How do those light houses survive being pummeled by those waves? How come they don't break apart and topple into the sea?
some of them do but after millions of hits remember the walls are made for that exact purpose the walls are 5 feet thick and they are 50 feet in the ground/sea
I love lighthouse
i love lamp
Interesting! The photographer flew there to capture the last days of the manned lighthouse before automation took over and the keeper came out at the sound of the helicopter- very serendipitous.
I remember that amazing picture! Cool video straight to the point!
It's sad that technology, and GPS, have made this sort of job obsolete. I grew up as a kid in the 1970's, and when you didn't have cell phones, or Google, there was an awful lot about life, and the world, that you simply did not know. You grew up with a sense of "mystery", and believe it or not, there was a time when not having instant answers to all questions was a *GOOD* thing. You grew up with *WONDER* . It's sad that no kids today can grow up with a sense of wonder.
Truly remarkable and something I'm sure the world over has cherished to see, well done.
Holy shit he must've been YOUNG when he was the keeper.
I once owned this picture. Always wondered what happened to him moments after the photo was taken!
This is an amazing lighthouse!
Hi
Man how the hell did they build this with all of those giant waves?
I'm so glad I watched your video which led me to your lighthouse video link. We have that lighthouse picture in our office and I have often wondered the story behind it. Thank you, my boss I'm sure will enjoy the video also.
THIS IS MY FAVORITE LIGHTHOUSE SHORT STORY! ...... @
could you imagine the sound of the water smashing against the walls like that. over and over. fucking WOW.
"it was the freshest move I've ever seen"
Beau reportage.
Ben oui, je parle français.
I bought a large print of this picture in about 2004, still have it. Neil Oliver is a great presenter on 'Coast'.
Wow, life has so many obscure ways of getting famous. Who would have thought, the lighthouse guy. There is a lighthouse guy.
Tres, tres bien! Et Merci Beaucoup! C'est vrai!!
Great photo universally admired by marine photographers.
I LOVE the hilarity that can ensue with auto CC translate. at 4:05 mark, while viewing the blown up photo, the translation captions read: "Normandy cocktail to supplement 3-game cheaper more normal notice or perform a little bit moments of fear not become solid I see exceptional diesel signed and delivered."
What an awesome moment, captured in an awesome photo, now embellished with awesome subtitles.
I have to say, the photographer got at that moment what all photographers dream of: "THE ONE SHOT."
Really shows how prominent the photo was, I remember seeing that photo in a cafe in furtaventura
... Fuerteventura*
Saw this in tiktok..
Gorgeous picture!
How with waves like this, and I've even seen bigger ones that engulf the entire structure, do the keepers survive? Surely they must flood and the windows would break. And if you went to the top you would be washed away or still engulfed with water from many pictures I've seen. Just curious.
Remember the good ole days when youtube didn't have commercials!?
Damn automation is taking away jobs people would love to have.
Not true, sometimes people are placed in lighthouses in order to maintain political borders as well. So that no one can claim the land.
Technology have ruined lots of good things. People don't even talk to each other anymore.
@@x-raytech7811 Technology saved plenty of people as well and it also made lives easier for many. People talk plenty to each other, only cynical assholes who love seeing everything being bad think otherwise. Kinda funny, you shit on technology with a name such as X-Ray Tech. You realize that one thing revolutionized medical technology and saved lots of lives. You're a stupid person did you know that. Technology destroys some jobs, but it also creates new jobs.
@@flybeep1661 u r a bit rude but I will still respond. Technology discovered x-rays but also atomic bombs that killed at once in japan a lot more lives than we have cured sick people around the world maybe since 1945 till now. Also they broke the treaty of nuclear deal last week so they ll build more bombs now. Technology also extend the life span of elderly but also sufferage with it. In Syria right now advanced countries dropping bombs on civilians. I can name many more examples.
@@flybeep1661 Very true.. what we NEED is Balance.

A great reason for the existence of TH-cam !
how the hell did they build it?
over 10 years :)
CrimsonCorona10 14 to be exact.
sometime the sea is calm there :)
That's a mystery
BigHeartBreak93 nobody knows
You know you're talking to a Frenchman when he asks you to hold his end while he tells you the hand of the story.
Amazing !
Have got that great photo hanging on my wall!
I just bid on this picture in an auction. It was professionally framed in a beautiful presentation. Nobody had bid on it, so I bid $1.00. It's going to proudly hang in my living room.
Wonderful!
Bloody awesome
love that picture. every time I see it it stops me . Mother nature is beautiful
Beautiful photo of natures power 💖💖💖
lighthouse keeper + StarLink internet. Best job ever
I have that photo in my bedroom. Bought it in Paris back in 1989
I would LOVE to stay in this lighthouse. Hearing the waves crash on the side.. It would be SO cool. I would love to live in a lighthouse like this :) It makes you wonder how they built this......Just think with those waves crashing in with such force while they try to make concrete forms and such..... I dont have any clue how they did it ... Crazy!
When there wasn't a storm.
@@robinstewart6510 even better when there’s a storm. im more afraid that must be no signal there, and no wifi. that sucks
@@naufalalfariz9815 .. No, in response to him wondering how they built it, I meant they probably built the lighthouse during the summer months when there wasn't a storm ("waves crashing," etc). I'd like to live in a lighthouse as well. From that higher elevation, you'd probably get great signal reception (assuming there's a signal anywhere nearby).
Few years back I saw that picture in a store, in a mall, in the US. I then paid more attention, and this picture was displayed everywhere here.
Wow what a great story. I have that picture on my phone. When i first saw it i had to save it. I immediately thought what balls that guy must have.
Amazing.
"A lot of people thought he must have died, just a few seconds after the photograph, swamped by that wave...but he survived - and I'm going to find out how."
As a kid, I assumed he just walked inside and shut the door.
Now, we finally hear that he...
... just walked inside and shut the door. 😐
One of the greatest historical mysteries have been solved;)
This comment will probably be highly underrated
Smart kid. 🤔
Great story and great photograph!
so impressing!
*impressive
Glad he actually is alive. I was still wondering after that photo!
