The place we stayed in last week had quite a few light house themed stuff in the Airbnb. This was one of them. A lighthouse shaped kettle that looked lovely. I don't know if it was functional and doesn't check it. It was with...

The view from the lighthouse

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 16 Jan 25

More lighthouse posts! We could look out into the sea and the beach from the top of the lighthouse. Thankfully, it wasn't very windy as the top of the lighthouse apparently sways on windy days. Anyway, we felt safe and the views...

A streak of lighthouses!

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 16 Jan 25

We saw quite a few lighthouses on our recent road trip and this one was the most fascinating as we had a tour and climbed all the way to the top. It's about 43 meters high as per the guide and has an amazing history of how it was...

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 14 Jan 25

We had a tour of an old lighthouse that was partially still functional. We had a little session on the history and how it was constructed and then walked up some narrow stairs and a adder to reach the top and view the actual...

A picturesque lighthouse walk

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 28 Sep 24

We visited a lighthouse last evening. It was set amidst picturesque green landscape and the ocean views from the height were stunning. The open spaces were an invitation for the kids to run around and play. And to top it all, the...

Old and New

Dawnsummer @misunderstood_zombie (8765) • United States 24 Jun 23

I've always thought lighthouses were such a unique invention, and many are still used today, though most are now unmanned. The first (presumed) lighthouse was the Pharos of Alexandria, which was built in 280 B.C. and stood 450...

A checkerboard lighthouse

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Jan 22

While we were in Bunbury, Western Australia, on the week-end, I took this photo of the lighthouse there. I like the checkerboard pattern. I read once, that when it was being painted, the painter miscalculated and ended up with...

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (44941) • Preston, England 27 Mar 20

I stumbled on this unexpected gem in a general poetry anthology, and I know nothing about Gibson other than his year of birth, 1878. Flannan Island is a remote lump of rock bearing a lighthouse to warn passing ships of rocks,...

This image is the most photographed lighthouse in Maine

Scott Andersen @DocAndersen (54399) • United States 30 Oct 19

It used to be (with Ice and Snow) a background shipped with every Macintosh. It is a historic site and view! We walked all the way around the lighthouse! Every shot was amazing. The only way it could have been nicer was if the...

This one is my all-time favorite - it is just off the end of Navy Pier in Chicago. To the south of this lighthouse is both the recreational and commercial harbors of Chicago. Plus the Shedd aquarium! My all-time favorite...

Lighthouses, I love them!

Scott Andersen @DocAndersen (54399) • United States 7 Feb 19

I don't know why, but ever since I was a little kid I stopped at every lighthouse I could. I don't know why but I truly love Lighthouses. That said, how about the rest of you? Do you stop and view Lighthouses?

Would you rather renovate a windmill as your home or a light house as your home? Both are very economical as far as energy goes. However in my opinion I think lighthouses are prettier than...

It's been a long day, and I think it is finally time to get some sleep. I did pick up the vegetable tray that my great-aunt asked me to pick up. It is a smaller one, so I hope it is okay. I don't know how many are coming to...

Why so many French names in the south-east of Tasmania?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381741) • Rockingham, Australia 20 Jun 18

Not too far from Wineglass Bay in Freycinet Peninsula in Tasmania is the Cape Tourville lighthouse. This was constructed in 1971 and is automatic. It has never been manned. In this area, it is hard not to notice the abundance of...
