Wonderous Nature Photos

The ocean can be a scary place to navigate under the wrong conditions, and this captivating image of a lighthouse keeper peering out only to see gigantic waves crashing toward him is an example of why. In this photo taken by Jean Guichard in 1989, Theodore Malgorne is actually waiting to be picked up while his coworkers take over, but at this moment he was probably dismayed. The Phares dans la Tempete, la Jument is a lighthouse located off the coast of France, near Brittany, which ironically translates to “lighthouse in a storm.”
