Portland Bill was built 118 years ago and replaced lighthouses that had been there since the 1700s. It is some 41meters tall (135feet) and there are 155 steps to the top. It first shone its familiar 4 flashes of light every20 seconds in 1906 and had a range of 25 nautical miles. In 2019 the lens was replaced with a modern LED technology light, which has a range of 18 miles.

Portland Bill Lighthouse in Dorset in the UK, a bright sunny day, I thought the panorama format with the longer exposure allows the Lighthouse to sit in the picture without taking over. Also I like the wave on the left as it adds a bit of interest to the sea.
