For the last few summers we've done a family trip to Block Island and I would always see this Lighthouse in the distance from the Ferry and wanted to capture it but we always came back late. This time was no different except the fog was so thick.
I decided to at least go by there and see if I could capture it. What I didn't know was that this was a working Coast Guard station and that it was fenced in. There may have been a way to capture it from the beach and compose the fence out of the scene but it was so dark and with the visibility was really poor so I didn't want to take a chance.
The mood was just to good to walk away without capturing anything so I took this shot handheld and through a chain link fence. It's not very sharp or as good as I wanted but I loved the effect of the light hitting the fog.

Ninepin rock appears to have a lighthouse, but it is only a beacon. Known for rock fishing, but safety is a concern on this rugged beach.

"I had let want in, opened the door ever so slightly. But want without the belief you can get what you want is pointless. You have to hope, so I let that in too. You have to. To want things and go for them and believe, even in impossible situations...Hope was what you had when you had nothing else. Hope was the perfect shiny top on the Christmas tree, the glowing halo of every wish, the endless beacon of a lighthouse bringing tormented ships home at last."- Deb Caletti

Standing on top of the Dunstable Downs, England, and occasionally being used (at Easter for example). When lit, it can be seen from far away and so is in contact with other beacons across the country. It is a very old method of communication. Samyang wide-angle lens at F8 plus a polariser. Image has been cropped.

A beacon has stood proudly over the village of Danby on the North York Moors for over 400 years.
The Danby Beacon dates back to the 1600s when the country was living under the threat of invasion from France. It was the duty of a soldier and his wife, stationed upon the moor, to be vigilant and watch for the expected French fleet. If they had sight of them they were to light up the beacon, which would be the first inland fire of warning.

I had forgotten just how colorful and spectacular sunrises could be here. Do much drama!

Not real happy with this one yet, but am tired of trying to get it where I want it. Have a good weekend!
This airmail beacon had an acetylene powered flashing light that helped pilots keep on course. It was built in the mid-1920's and operated until early 1930's.
The beacon is on the part of Buffalo Valley called "alkali lake" (USGS 7.5' topo "Buffalo Springs NE"). Except for the missing light, it looks like it could still be used.
