But as it turns out that, just when disaster seems certain, a surprise of the mildly eucatastrophic kind decides to appear. A fantasy, like all the others, it involves but one creature…a huge mosquito! Not exactly a welcoming thing, in my opinion. But the light and dark contrast is superbly and dramatically used. “The Lighthouse Keeper” (or “Le phare”) by those talented folks at the Gobelins School of the Image is one of their most restrained in terms of color, taking place, as it does, at night. The vital responsibilities, the potential loneliness of the keepers, the beauty and conflict of the two worlds, land and sea, meeting at the coast, the light shining in the darkness, even on cloudful nights…all these I love.Īnd so it comes as little surprise that a short animated story that gets all these elements right is bound to delight me. The romance and symbolism of those beacons attracts me, romances me, and causes me to think of important things. Many parks offer lighthouse tours so visitors can get a sense of the stories and challenges faced by these dedicated heroes while enjoying scenic coastal views.Those who know me personally may be aware of my peculiar fascination with lighthouses.

Lifesaving stations on Cape Cod and Point Reyes, among others, preserve memories of the U.S.
They remind us of our nation’s maritime history and of the families and individuals who braved the elements to offer safe passage and save lives.
National parks along both coasts and the shores of our Great Lakes tell these stories with lighthouses, lifesaving stations, artifacts, and exhibits. These hardy souls faced severe isolation and put themselves in danger to safeguard storm tossed mariners and rescue distressed boaters and swimmers. Today with our advanced technology and well equipped Coast Guard it is hard to imagine the challenges confronted by early lighthouse keepers and lifesavers. But the quiet postcard image belies a dramatic history, one filled with heroism and adversity. This iconic view conjures up quaint coastal towns and peaceful afternoons along the shore. There are few landscapes as picturesque as a lighthouse along a rocky coast. Suddenly he sees that he is no longer alone in the midst of the ocean waves: he sees that people are caring for him with paternal solicitude. There are no words to express the feelings that induce a sailor to offer fervent prayers when he sees this mark of sympathy expressed by his fellow men.
