Nash Point Lighthouse was designed and built by
Joseph Nelson being completed in 1832 to mark the
hazardous sandbanks off Nash Point, overlooking
the Bristol Channel. This followed the wrecking of
the passenger steamer Frolic on these sands in 1831,
with a heavy loss of life.
Two circular towers were built, each with massive walls and
a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37
metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres
high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights
to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high
light was painted with black and white stripes and the low
light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed
light which was either red or white depending on the
direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector
marked the Nash Sands.
The low light was abandoned circa 1925 and the high
light was modernised and painted white. In place of the
fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed
which gave a white and red group flashing, this was
removed in the automation of the station and replaced
with a rotating optic. Nash Point Lighthouse was the last
manned lighthouse in Wales. It was automated in 1998
with the keepers leaving for the last time on the 5 August.
The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from the
Planning Centre at Trinity House in Harwich, Essex.

The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California coast.
A lighthouse on Point Arena has served mariners since 1870.
This lighthouse entered service in 1908, replacing the original 1870 light which was damaged beyond repair in the Great Quake of 1906. While the 1906 quake is usually associated with San Francisco, the epicenter was very close to Point Arena, as the San Andreas Fault runs just east of the lighthouse.
This lighthouse was built of reinforced concrete by a company that specialized in the construction if smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
Mrinal points at the camera...he's getting good at figuring out where to look!

Point Betsie Lighthouse (Michigan, USA) was established in 1858 as a round/integral brick structure with attached quarters. The light is still active and stands 37 feet tall. The Coast Guard used Point Betsie as a residence until 1996. The light was finally automated as of 1983.
As I climbed the tower, I paused to puff, enjoy the view. It is not easy to create a reasonable photograph from such a tight space while standing on skinny steps held from a fall by tiny railing!
We hiked down to Separation Point, a spur off the main trail. A bit tricky to get down there and back up, but it was worth the effort. All over the big rock at the point were tons of these little poops. Not sure what they were from, but we did see at least one Spotted Shag sitting on the rocks, so perhaps there were a bunch of them there earlier and they left when they heard us clambering down the hill.
