Fanad Lighthouse portrait (Explored)
Another from my February stay at this fabulous lighthouse in County Donegal, Ireland. What lovely light!
The 1811 wreck of HMS Saldanha with 250 lives lost prompted the building of the first lighthouse here. The only survivor was the ship's parrot. The fellow who gave us the lighthouse tour said it later died after being given too much poitin - that's the home-made whiskey in Ireland.
