Bean Rock Lighthouse is the only surviving wave washed wooden cottage type lighthouse in New Zealand. Bean Rock stands on a group of rocks opposite North Head at the entrance to Waitemata harbour, Auckland.
Construction begun on the Bean Rock lighthouse in 1870 and was completed in 8 months. The design was an open framework with a cottage on top.
On 24 July, 1871, after a cost of £3000, the lighthouse with its kerosene light of 350 candlepower was lit.
The keeper lived in three rooms in the cottage structure. A living area including kitchen, a bedroom and the ‘long drop’ toilet to the sea below.
In 1912 it installed its first automatic acetylene light at Bean Rock and the lighthouse became the first watched light to lose it's resident keeper. At the same time it was changed to a flashing light to stand out from the lights of the city. The light revolved by the pressure it generated as it burned; an automatic sun valve turned the gas flow on and off.
Plans in the 1970's to replace the lighthouse with a concrete structure was meet with local opposition but by the 1980's the Auckland Harbour Board and Historic Places Trust were seriously worried about the lighthouse as it needed extensive repairs. In 1985 the cottage structure was removed by crane from the pilings and moved ashore for renovation. At the same time the rotted kauri piles were replaced with Australian hardwood jarrah and sunk in a new concrete foundation.
During the renovation, they found 20 coats of paint on one section of the lighthouse, showing how well the keepers had done their job. The lighthouse was also repainted white, it's original colour after being painted yellow since 1956. Five months later the cottage was craned back onto the new pilings and bolted down.
Solar panels now provide the power for the lighthouse and it has an automatic fog horn.

Tafoni are small, rounded openings in rock surfaces that resemble Swiss cheese or honeycomb. They are formed by a combination of physical and chemical processes that occur over millions of years. These rock surfaces are at Bean Hollow State Beach on the San Mateo, California coast.

took home this little one from Dollism - Dear Mine Picasso Bean!
I also bought some Oscar eyes, pretty sparkly things n_n
I altered the default faceup - added some small eyelash and brow lines, and painted the nose into a heart!
As a much needed storm approached the area we went to Bean Hollow beach in hopes of capturing a great sunset. There was not much color but the cloud formations were very interesting.
... the newest girl to hit the Manor, takes a stroll in the tall grass. I decided to name her "Bean" (obvious reasons). I had to get her out for a quick snap because I just think she is sooooooo darling. I believe she is a bit of a frankenblythe ...a parted together girl. Her human hair scalp is by Sammydoe, and some of the carving was done by MellyKay(?). But, her present personality is all the wonderful work of qdpatootie, Lisa. She just had to come live here and I am so happy we could work out a trade ;) Thank you Lisa!!
and,
Welcome dear little "Bean!"
(Ok really, I am not looking for any more girls, but they keep finding me!)
I am a Jelly bean addict .. When i saw the heart shape ones i got the idea of shooting this picture .. :)
Today's lunch was a medley of beans - cannelini, borlotti, haricots, black, green lentils, chick peas. And a good quantity of tomato - crushed, puree, whatever I could find.
Soften some onions, add garlic, lots of paprika, salt and pepper. Bring up to a simmer for a while and allow to reduce. Add a heap of grated mozzarella and sharp cheddar; stir well.
Taste ... a bit flat. So a couple of dollops of sriracha to lift but not over-power.
