This is the lighthouse at Galley Head, a rocky peninsula between Clonakilty and Rosscarbery in West Cork. A superb , wild spot; as I took this image there were a couple of Choughs feeding happily at the bottom of the field shown in the foreground.

The Galley Head is a headland and lighthouse outside of Rosscarbery, County Cork, on the south coast of Ireland. Galley Head Lighthouse station is situated on the Galley Head or Dundeady headland in the very heart of West Cork at about 130 feet above sea level, overlooking St George's Channel and 2 magnificent beaches, Red strand to the East and the Long Strand to the West . The headland is cut off from the mainland by the ancient walls of the old Norman stronghold of Dun Deidi, an important fortress of the local O’Cowhig Clan.

 

The station was built in 1875, during the heyday of lighthouse building, and within twenty years of its closest neighbors at Old Head of Kinsale and Fastnet. The Galley Head and the Fastnet have the distinction of being two of the most powerful lighthouses in Europe.

 

I love the old walls and the stone steps to the sea. I love West Cork I came out this way with my father a lot when I was a child. :-)

The galley on board the 400-meter container ship MAYVIEW MAERSK. I don't know how the ship's chefs manage to prepare so many meals and keep the galley always clean while they are working.

No I'm not starting a train Tuesday - but this is the galley from the inside of a train from probably back in the 1940-60's.

I had toured some old trains and this caught my eye for the light, metallic tones and angles. ....It's a lot of metal!!

 

My ISO was set at 400 but still fought a little with noise.

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)

Galley Head Lighthouse rises an imposing 53m above the roaring Atlantic ocean in the popular tourist haven of West Cork.

Galley Head is a gleaming white lighthouse that sits at the southernmost point of a picturesque headland known as Dundeady Island and is close to the charming market town of Clonakilty – home of the famous black pudding!

 

Galley Head Lighthouse was built in 1875, during the heyday of lighthouse building.

 

When Galley Head was first constructed, it was the most powerful lighthouse light in the world.

 

The lighthouse’s lantern, dome and 21-metre tower are still painted white, just as they were in the 19th century.

 

The lighthouse was converted to electric operation in 1969 and automated in 1979.

This was the kitchen at the apartment we rented in Pacific Heights. It was small and narrow but very modern and cozy. I especially liked the frosted glass cupboards and the fridge built into the wall was really neat....

Fast, powerful, maneuverable, and versatile, War Galleys dominated naval warfare in the Mediterranean from the 8th century BC until the development of advanced sailing warships in the 17th century.

 

This particular galley is commanded by the daring captain, Marco di Venezia.

He relentlessly seeks out the enemies of the republic!

Viva Venezia!

There was nice afternoon light on the tree and landscape but on this occasion I thought the contrast worked as black and white

I hate this MOC. It is a perfect example of what happens if I lose interest in a creation before finishing it. You can see a lot more joy and effort in the first one I made.

 

Anyways, Brickself.

Returned to one of my favourite spots in all the world yesterday. The sense of peace and tranquility that comes over me as the sea breeze blows is wonderful.
