This image was captured down at Hook Head which is located in County Wexford, Ireland and features Hook Lighthouse which is one of the world's oldest lighthouses.
I've been wanting to build myself one of these for a couple of years. If you're at Brickworld Chicago this weekend come by the GamerLUG tables to see it in person.
The hooks do open, but they lock in place for safe operation. If they are open, the entire thing tends to explode. :)
Taken in Alanson, Michigan.
I find it interesting that you can see where the wood has been marked by the swing of the hook and where rust from the hook has transferred to the wood.
“Sai quando stai tra il sonno e la veglia?
Quando ti ricordi ancora quello che sogni?
Ecco, è lì che io ti amerò per sempre.”

The font at Hook Norton has always fascinated me, it's volume alone would make it interesting. The carving is quite crude and rustic compared with some finer Norman mason's work.

All sluices raised at Penton Hook on the River Thames near Staines during the floods of 2014. Typically, the fall of the lock is 4 feet. At the time I took the picture, there was no difference in the water level either side of the weir. It was "interesting" walking over the weir, feeling the rumble of the water below my feet.
Hook Lighthouse is a unique example of an almost intact medieval lighthouse. It dates from the early 13th century and was a major feat at the time of its construction.Purpose built as a lighthouse, it has served sailors and shipping for 800 years, apart from a short closure during the 17th century. It is thought to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world.
