Shift change at a French lighthouse

Aw, and I always used to daydream about how nice and relaxing it would be to be a lighthouse keeper when work is stressing me out. This doesn't look relaxing at all. Before all there was to worry about was that ball of electric green slime that would possess keepers every now and again.

The rock it is on is like, within a couple feet of the surface at low tide.

FUN FACT: This is the same lighthouse that everyone has seen, with the monster wave crashing around the keeper standing in the doorway. Which was a real photo btw, not faked in any way.

Preservers on under their macks and helmets would offer no substantial protection rather, they'd be a liability to field of vision and ability to maneuver.

I just realized something---I don't think anyone is wearing a helmet or life preserver...
