Shot this photograph of St Mary's Lighthouse on Sunday the 20th of March. What was interesting when shooting was the black guys in the water on the causeway making a music video. That water had to be freezing.
The lighthouse at the southwest end of Lismore actually stands on the islet Eilean Musdile. It marks the southern entrance to the Sound of Mull. I'm pleased that I managed to place it in the area it's protecting and caught it before the heavy clouds darkened the whole scene.
just a quick photograph of the lighthouse , i would really like to photograph the light house on a cloudless night with the stars above
Godrevy Lighthouse was built in 1858–1859 on Godrevy Island in St Ives Bay, Cornwall. Standing approximately 300 metres (980 ft) off Godrevy Head, it marks the Stones reef, which has been a hazard to shipping for centuries. (Wikipedia)
According to wikipedia;
Longstone Lighthouse was built and designed by Joseph Nelson in 1826, and was originally called the Outer Farne lighthouse.
The site had a long history of need for a light. In the late 17th century Sir John Clayton, and later, in 1755, Captain J. Blackhead, requested a light for the island. Both were turned down because the authorities, the Elder Brethren of Trinity House, were unable to persuade affected parties to contribute to the maintenance of the light.
In the mid-1820s the welfare of shipping won over and it was agreed that a lighthouse be constructed. The lighthouse originally used Argand lamps, but in 1952 was finally electrified, and in 1990 became fully automated.
The lighthouse is known for the 1838 wreck of the Forfarshire and the role of Grace Darling, the lighthouse keeper's daughter, in rescuing survivors.
Tours of the lighthouse, which is accessible by boat, are operated by The Golden Gate Boat Trip Company[1] under licence from Trinity House.

"Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do." (Don Galer)
"—Estar vivo es... dar vida —se respondió a sí mismo—. Dar vida a los que te rodean. Cualquier cosa que dé vida está viva, recuérdalo. Imagínate las vidas que han salvado esos faros, las vidas que han evitado que se hundan en la mar..."

The Dyrhólaey lighthouse consists of a square concrete tower, painted white with red trim. Integral keepers quarters are placed on the left and right sides of the tower. A red metal lantern house is placed on top of the tower.[2] The focal plane of the light is 118 m (387 ft). The overall height of the tower is 13 m (43 ft). The site (but not the tower) is open to visitors. The light flashes white every 10 seconds
The lighthouse of the Venetian harbor of Rethymno is the second largest remaining Egyptian lighthouse in Crete, after the lighthouse of Chania harbor. It is built on the edge of the old sea wall of Rethymnon and it can be accessed very easily.
The lighthouse we see today was built by the Egyptians during the decade of 1830, when the Turks handed Crete to the Egyptians. Possibly there was an older Venetian lighthouse at the site, just like Chania harbor.
