Batterie Lothringen was a World War 2 coastal artillery battery in Saint Brélade and constructed by Organisation Todt for the Wehrmacht during the Occupation of the Channel Islands. The first installations were completed in 1941, around the same time as the completion of Battery Moltke.

The site is located at the end of Noirmont Point, a rock headland. It was a part of the Atlantic Wall system of coastal fortifications and most of the concrete structures remain today. The site is preserved by the Channel Islands Occupation Society and open to the public.

In 1950 the States of Jersey purchased the headland of Noirmont as a memorial to all those Jersey people who died during the Occupation. A memorial stone was unveiled at Noirmont on 9 May 1970 to mark the 25th anniversary of Liberation.

When visiting Batterie Lothringen, I took into account the time of day. I decided to have a photo shoot at the site during the evening around 7pm so I could capture images during the golden hour, the period just before sunset. In landscape photography, the warm colour of the low sun is often considered desirable to enhance the colours of the scene. It is the best time of day for any photography since the light is diffused and warm.
