Lighthouses photos on Flickr

"Flying visit to Chester, and (with an couple of hours on my hands) decided to seek out New Brighton, and in particular this lighthouse which has been on my tick list for a very long time.

Nowhere near the conditions I hoped for, and this serves pretty much as a record shot, to remind me of somewhere I'd like to get back to in the future.

New Brighton itself was a curious place from what I saw of it, and would like a mooch around given more time."

I really like photos coming out of my Yashica. The pictures look like they were taken from long ago. It adds quite a bit of charm

Race Point Light is a historic lighthouse on Cape Cod, in Provincetown, Massachusetts; it is on the National Register of Historic Places. The original tower, first illuminated in 1816, was replaced in 1876 with the current 45-foot tall iron-plated tower and a new keeper's dwelling. The American Lighthouse Foundation operates the property and rents out two buildings for overnight stays. The actual light is maintained by the Coast Guard. The site is reached by walking about 45 minutes over sand; with a National Park Service Oversand Permit, a four-wheel-drive vehicle can be used.

Race Point Light was first established in 1816, the third light on Cape Cod (after Highland Light (1797) and Chatham Light (1808). The original light was a 25 feet (7.6 m) rubblestone tower that featured one of the earliest rotating beacons, which distinguished it from others on Cape Cod. In 1858 the light got a fourth order Fresnel lens and, in 1874, a second keeper's quarters.

In 1876, after significant deterioration of the original tower, it was replaced with a 45-foot tall cast iron tower lined with brick. The Fresnel lens was installed into the new tower. The original keeper's stone house was removed and replaced with one made of wood. Race Point Light was electrified in 1957. The larger keeper's house was removed in 1960 and the other was updated. The light was automated in 1972.

In 1995 the group updated the keeper’s house and began offering rooms for overnight stays in 1998. A solar electrical system was installed in October 2003, and a wind turbine back-up generator was added in 2007. The light now uses a solar-powered VRB-25 optic with 400,000 candlepower, operated by the Coast Guard. Operation of the site is by the American Lighthouse Foundation. Tours are available on the first and third Saturdays from June until October. Both the Keeper's House and the Whistle House are available for overnight rental.

Race Point Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Race Point Light Station on June 15, 1987, reference number 87001482.

Portland Bill Lighthouse is such an amazing building - and practical with the number of boats that are safe because of it.

It dominates the skyline when you look it its direction - especially nice to check it out and the last around it on days out.

This is the lighthouse that stands out in Plymouth, UK, and looks out over the sea. A nice sight, during the day and at night as well after a drink or two.

Today was a gorgeous day for a drive. We headed out early to Halifax and after lunch we visited Peggy's Cove. The fall colours were absolutely breathtaking along the way... I managed to stop a couple of times to get a few shots.

This is a shot of Peggy's Cove Lighthouse... the most photographed lighthouse in Canada !!!

Although we were not able to visit the Lighthouse due to it's not being open during our visit, we were able to see it from a distance. It was a foggy, cloudy morning. Typical coastal winter weather.
