I thought the trail through the grain field to the lighthouse looked pretty good and I liked the shadows here. Very muddy path though as it had rained pretty hard the night before.

The Sancti Petri lighthouse is located on the coast of Cádiz in southern Spain. This day was special because of the color that the clouds acquired just as the sun disappeared.
The final capture of light of sunset as it fell on Vaucluse lighthouse after the storms last week. 24 hours to go now until my summer holidays begin :)
Took this shot of the Walton Lighthouse while hanging with my son and dad. Both excellent photographers.
Pigeon Point lighthouse was built in 1872 to assist ships with navigating the crushing tides in this region, which had claimed multiple victims prior to its construction. Namely, the Carrier Pigeon cargo vessel which was wrecked in 1853 while en route from Boston to San Francisco, giving way to the name Pigeon Point.
Pigeon Point lighthouse still remains a navigational landmark, but the original lens has been replaced by an electronic light outside the lens room and the lighting is completely automated.
just a quick photograph of the lighthouse , i would really like to photograph the light house on a cloudless night with the stars above
Cove Point Light Station is the oldest continuously operated lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay. Located in Calvert County, Maryland, it's a nice and easy 60 minute jaunt from the D.C. and Baltimore metro areas, and a nice duplex vacation rental property.
According to wikipedia;
Longstone Lighthouse was built and designed by Joseph Nelson in 1826, and was originally called the Outer Farne lighthouse.
The site had a long history of need for a light. In the late 17th century Sir John Clayton, and later, in 1755, Captain J. Blackhead, requested a light for the island. Both were turned down because the authorities, the Elder Brethren of Trinity House, were unable to persuade affected parties to contribute to the maintenance of the light.
In the mid-1820s the welfare of shipping won over and it was agreed that a lighthouse be constructed. The lighthouse originally used Argand lamps, but in 1952 was finally electrified, and in 1990 became fully automated.
The lighthouse is known for the 1838 wreck of the Forfarshire and the role of Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper's daughter, in rescuing survivors.
Tours of the lighthouse, which is accessible by boat, are operated by The Golden Gate Boat Trip Company[1] under licence from Trinity House.

"Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do." (Don Galer)
"—Estar vivo es... dar vida —se respondió a sí mismo—. Dar vida a los que te rodean. Cualquier cosa que dé vida está viva, recuérdalo. Imagínate las vidas que han salvado esos faros, las vidas que han evitado que se hundan en la mar..."

So this is the Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse (1875).
Located at Seal Rocks - just a little to the north of Sydney.
Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse stands on a dramatic headland east of Seal Rocks village. Completed in 1875, it is the first lighthouse designed by colonial architect James Barnet and one of only two towers in Australia with an external stairway.
It was originally built to guide ships along the rocky coastline to the north of Sydney, after a number of incidents, including the shipwrecking of the SS Catterthun and the SS Rainbow.
Below the lighthouse are the Lighthouse Keepers’ quarters and outbuildings that have been refurbished to offer holiday accommodation for visitors.

The Dyrhólaey lighthouse consists of a square concrete tower, painted white with red trim. Integral keepers quarters are placed on the left and right sides of the tower. A red metal lantern house is placed on top of the tower.[2] The focal plane of the light is 118 m (387 ft). The overall height of the tower is 13 m (43 ft). The site (but not the tower) is open to visitors. The light flashes white every 10 seconds
