A white light flare was observed at the limb on 16 August 1989 in He 10830 ${AA}$ spectra, H$alpha$ slit jaw photo-grams, and white light filter-grams of ${lambda}=5600{AA}{pm}800{AA}$. The kernels of the white light flare are not spatially related with Ha brightenings, suggesting that the flare energy would be released at the photosphere.
