"Plum Beach Light (Lighthouse), built in 1899, is a sparkplug lighthouse in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.
The lighthouse was built using pneumatic caisson engineering. A granite base was added in 1922. The light was deactivated in 1941 when the first Jamestown Bridge was built. The light became dilapidated until 1999 when the Friends of Plum Beach Lighthouse received ownership of the lighthouse. The lighthouse is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2003 the Plum Beach Lighthouse's exterior was completely restored and its beacon re-activated soon after; it is now licensed as a Coast Guard Private Aid to Navigation. The Friends of the Plum Beach Lighthouse designed, submitted and introduced an official License Plate to be distributed to any Rhode Island private passenger registration. The extremely popular plates have sold over 7000 sets since they were released in July 2010.
Construction started on Plum Beach Lighthouse in 1896. It was built using a pneumatic caisson. The lighthouse’s foundation was built on shore and towed to its present location and sunk to the bottom. Once the foundation settled on the bottom, the water was pumped out and filled with air. Workers went into it and dug the dirt at the bottom of the foundation. As they removed the dirt, the foundation sunk lower in to river bottom. A core sample taken during construction discovered a seven-foot layer of quicksand at the depth the foundation was going to bottom out. Construction was stopped because the foundation had to be heightened to get past the quicksand. This required additional funding. The foundation was covered with a wooden peaked roof. A red light was placed on the unfinished foundation in 1897. Congress appropriated $9,000 in 1898 to finish it. Work was restarted in April 1899 and was finished in June 1899. It was first lighted on July 1, 1898." (wikipedia)

Sadly I've still no new recent photos to post, so filling in for today's guardrail pic is SR #151, the Sparkplug, at Tateville, Ky on Saturday, December 17, 1983.
I spotted the Coast Guard working on the Spark Plug Light a few days ago. Not sure if they were just cleaning or replacing the bulb. I know they have been installing LED bulbs in some lighthouses, West Quoddy Head Light is now LED.

Pictures of the Romer Shoal Light from on board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas at the beginning of our week-long cruise. The Romer Shoal Light is a sparkplug lighthouse that dates from 1898 and is in the Lower New York Bay. It is 2 and a half nautical miles north of Sandy Hook, New Jersey. A few of the pictures also show the Sandy Hook Lighthouse in the background. I was able to see a number of lighthouses in New York Harbor this trip. On board the Royal Caribbean Anthem of the Seas for the Seven Night Labadee & Puerto Plata Cruise (November 6th through 13th, 2022). The cruise embarks from Cape Liberty (Bayone, NJ) with stops at Labadee, Haiti and Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic before heading back to New York City. The itinerary changed after Hurricane Nicole canceled our planned stops.
The conical spark plug style Spring Point ledge Light was built in 1897 at the entrance to Portland Harbor. The first floor of the tower was used for storage, and upper floors contained a galley kitchen, bedrooms and a watch room. The light was automated in 1934. In 1951, a breakwater was built to connect the light to the mainland. The U.S. Coast Guard turned over the light to the Spring Point Ledge Light Trust in 1998. The light is an active aid to navigation. (Source: Various)

Due to a succession of personal circumstances I have neglected my photographic efforts.
I've received a number of queries as to when there will be another What is this?
Checking my records I found to my shock that 2 years have elapsed since I uploaded #55!!
The subject for #56 was already shot on 2022/03/28 and I trust that this will be an easy one to start off again.
Your correct, wild, imaginative, out of the box and out of this world guesses are being looked forward to. 😁
Post as many guesses as you like!
Please don't delete guesses that you feel might be "wrong", or that other people's ideas might be more correct.
These "wrong" answers are what make this series interesting as I, and others I assume, enjoy figuring out what led to a particular guess.
There are no wrong answers, only interesting ones!
As usual the answer will be posted in a few days' time in the first comment below. Enjoy!

Sunrise at the Lubec Channel Lighthouse (aka Spark Plug) at low tide with some friends in the background — The Campobello Bridge, Mulholland Lighthouse, and Eastport, Maine, being lit up at the horizon.
This is from the 166mm (35mm equivalent) tele lens on the DJI Mavic Pro 3, which I just picked up primarily for that lens plus the new medium-tele lens that is a 70mm equivalent. Having tele lenses in the air is a huge change for me and opens up a whole new world of photo opportunities like this where the scene is compressed. At the normal wide angle (24mm equivalent lens) getting a shot with the lighthouse this big in the frame would require being a lot closer to it and the background would be very tiny.

You will not find one modification to this car. No bullshit.
No bullbar. No LED light bar. No over-sized tires. No chrome wheels. No false AMG kit or body skirt. Not lowered or raised. Original sound system. Two original electronic keys. Everything just works.
The car phone became obsolete, but I found a bluetooth adapter the same size and shape of the old phone, that fits the original car phone adapter and allows me to use my Apple iPhone handsfree with the same functionality as OEM.
It was perfectly engineered by Mercedes-Benz, from the factory.
The engine is a 5.0L V-8 version 113-967, in a W211.
4-stroke, gasoline (petrol) injection
8 cylinders, with two Bosch sparkplugs per cylinder
Bore 3.82 inches or 97.00mm
Stroke 3.31 inches or 84.00mm
Displacement 302.9 cubic inches or 4966 cubic centimeters
Compression Ratio 10:1
Output 302hp/5600rpm or 225kW/5600rpm
Maximum Torque acceleration to SAE J 1349 is 339 ft.lb/2700rpm or 460Nm/2700rpm
Maximum Engine RPM 6000rpm
It takes 80.0L + 9.0L Reserve gasoline (petrol) and I only use BP 98 RON, the highest commercially-available automotive octane available, and the cleanest burning, bar none. Though an up front expensive car to acquire, it has been the cheapest car to maintain, of any of the previous 30 cars, trucks, SUVs, I have owned, since 1970.

Sadly, the car I worked so hard for and love to drive, it is an asshole magnet. So, I take it out for a drive, once a month and otherwise keep it locked in a garage. The jealous buggers and haters tend to tailgate and take a corner at an intersection in their 4X4 or muddy ute as close as they can without shearing a fender off. Recently, for example, I had one dumb bitch, who is (was) a cleaning lady at Ratho, tailgate my car so closely in her silver Holden SUV, I thought I was towing a boat. I reported her to Police -a wasted effort. Another time, I noticed while filling up at BP the drivers of two truly shitty vehicles in adjacent bays. They followed me northbound along the Midland Highway, one overtaking illegally across a median strip, to pull in front of my car then decelerate below the 80 km/h speed limit and put his brakes on, while his pal began accelerating and tailgating, then, they tried to force me over onto the roadside. I was merely driving home, at the posted speed limit. Why they felt the urge to do that, is beyond me. Trust that I am a better driver. I have over 50 years driving experience, without an accident and 36 years flying experience, with a perfect safety record. In each of these instances, I wondered, "Where are the cops when you need them?"

Today the Wayback Machine is set to December 17, 1983 and SR #151 (the Sparkplug) at Bowen, Ky (south of Junction City).
I was hoping for some intense sea smoke on this single digit morning but there was hardly anything, so instead here is a photo from last week with some fog rolling through Lubec when it was around 15F.

Kingsland Point Light and Sleepy Hollow Light, is a sparkplug lighthouse on the east side of the Hudson River in Sleepy Hollow, New York, United States. It a conical steel structure erected in the 1880s
This is the result of my third attempt at creating this particular image. I knew what I wanted to accomplish but the first two attempts weren't satisfactory for various reasons.
The image you see here is the result of three separate processes.
Step 1: Firstly I captured the spark plug (which is from a radio-controlled airplane and so is significantly smaller than a regular plug) and its reflection. This step required 15 separate images to be taken in a focus stack of the spark plug placed on a mirror with a black background. I then combined these 15 images in the awesome Helicon Soft Helicon Focus software. If any of you have yet to try this piece of software I positively encourage you to download the 30 day trial - it's incredible.
Step 2: I then re-focussed on the lettering of the plug, doused the mirror in methylated spirit and set light to it - taking another image and then blowing out the flames before they set light to my black background or anything else! Mrs R was out of the house when I did this bit!
Step 3: I photographed the spark from the gas hob igniter using the same macro lens.
I combined the image from Step 1 and Step 2 in Photoshop and used a layer mask to bring the deep focussed plug out from the flames. I then took the spark image and used the free transform feature of PS to manipulate it to be in the correct place, size and orientation for the reflected part of the spark plug.
The resulting compound image was then cropped, saturation of the blue flames boosted and other minor tweaks using Lightroom and Color Efex Pro.
The final image is pretty close to what I'd envisioned - I hope you like the result.
