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...

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...

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...

Snake Island off the coast of Brazil. There are five snakes per meter. A lot of snakes. A moving carpet of snakes. The Golden Lancehead Viper. One of the most venomous snakes in the world. They have quickly gone through all the...

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...

While we were away recently, we visited one of Western Australia’s very first lighthouses at Cape Naturaliste. We had a snack at the café and sat at one of the long trestle tables on the deck.
There were several others there and...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...
