First lighthouse on our trip, Georgetown. Georgetown Lighthouse on North Island at the entrance to Winyah Bay southeast of Georgetown, SC is an active light. To get to the lighthouse you have to take a boat. We had a wonderful time seeing lighthouses, ocean scenery, towns, and meeting people from all over the world.. Hope everyone has a Bless week and thank you for your views, comments, favorites and most of all your friendship...
Pulau Penang, die Insel in Malaysia liegt in der Straße von Malakka und besonders Georgetown hat viele schöne liebevoll restaurierte Bauten aus der Kolonialzeit und viele hinduistische, chinesische und buddhistische Tempel, sowie christliche Kirchen. In Georgetown glaubt man manchmal, die Zeit scheint stehen geblieben zu sein. Rikschas, chinesische Shophouses und Garküchen begegnen einem überall.

In Georgetown you sometimes thinks the time seems to have stopped. Rikshas, Chinese shophouses and food stalls meet you everywhere.

nrhp # 66000243- The Georgetown–Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District is a federally designated United States National Historic Landmark that comprises the Town of Georgetown, the Town of Silver Plume, and the Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park between the two silver mining towns along Clear Creek in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, Colorado, United States.
The district includes well-preserved examples of the buildings and mining structures of the Colorado Silver Boom from 1864 to 1893. The Georgetown Loop Historic Mining & Railroad Park includes the reconstructed Georgetown Loop, a spectacular example of 19th-century 3 ft (914 mm) narrow gauge railway engineering required to negotiate the 601 feet (183 meters) of elevation rise in the mere 2.0 miles (3.2 kilometers) between the two towns. Historic steam locomotives pull passenger trains over the loop from late May through the beautiful Autumn colors of early October. Guided tours of the Lebanon Silver Mine are also available.
The district was designated a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966.
Gold was discovered in Georgetown by George and David Griffiths in 1859, and Georgetown eventually took its name from the former. The gold finds in the area were relatively minor, but a major lode of silver was discovered in 1864, kicking off the local boom. Georgetown became a center for thousands of miners operating in the surrounding hills. Silver Plume was developed as one of a series of satellite camps, and in 1884 the Georgetown Loop Railroad was built, connecting the two by rail. Mining declined in the 1890s, and the area has since had a relatively low population.

The small town of Georgetown, Idaho can be seen on top of the hill across this little valley. Like many other towns around here, farmland is located right up to the edge of town, and it is common to find barns, hay sheds, and livestock mixed with residential neighborhoods. On the other hand, there isn't much traffic, smog, or noise.
