I realise I have quite a lot of photos on Flickr which I uploaded years ago but never made 'Public'.
It may not be the tallest, but Perch Rock lighthouse always looks pretty.
Pigeon Point lighthouse is one of the tallest lighthouses in America and the tallest on the west coast. It stands 115 feet and perched on a 35-foot cliff in Pescadero, California. It was built in 1871 and still an active US Coast Guard aid.
Wish you all a magnific and happy weekend :))**
CABO ESPICHEL (lit. Cape Espichel) is a cape located near Sesimbra, Portugal. Tourists are drawn there due to breathtaking views of its cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The location is famous for the a sanctuary complex (lit. Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel), built extremely close to the edge of the tall cliffs, and still in use after more than 700 years.
Also famous, are the several dinosaur fossil trackways exposed in some of the now tilted Jurassic strata which form the cape's cliffs. It is said that local superstition interpreted the trackways as the path taken by the saint when riding a giant mule from the ocean and up the cliffs, which led to the eventual construction of the convent at that location.
I photographed this lighthouse the other week and decided to make the road to the beach a feature of the shot as it is usually left out. It is now a private residence and has been for quite a while. I bet it can be rented out as a holiday home although I haven't checked it!

Nun ja, eigentlich kein Leuchtturm im engeren Sinne. Es handelt sich vielmehr um ein sogenanntes Unterfeuer. Der Turm trägt lediglich einen Signalscheinwerfer als Teil einer Richtfeuerlinie. Das Oberfeuer befindet sich knapp 700 m entfernt auf einem Eisengitterturm etwas weiter landeinwärts.
Bei der Aufnahme erlebte ich eine kleine "Überraschung" - wer entdeckt sie?

Cove Point Light Station is the oldest continuously operated lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay. Located in Calvert County, Maryland, it's a nice and easy 60 minute jaunt from the D.C. and Baltimore metro areas, and a nice duplex vacation rental property.
In 1811, the HMS Saldanha sank and 254 people died, the only survivor being the captain's parrot. After this tragedy, a lighthouse was built at Fannet Point as it was then known, and on St. Patrick’s Day 1817, the light was lit for the first time.
Fanad Lighthouse remains an iconic working lighthouse at the mouth of Lough Swilly. It has been voted one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the world. This stunning heritage building is the flagship visitor attraction of the Fanad peninsula, an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The sun was already low when I took this picture of the lighthouse du Petit Mino in Plouzané, Finistère, in Brittany France. The mixture of clouds and colures gives this a moody appearance. I took a few pictures and enjoyed the peaceful sunset.

Erected in 1870, this lighthouse stands on Cape Blanco, Oregon’s farthest west point of land. The Cape Blanco Light Station was put into service in1870, then automated in 1980.
It is one of the few lighthouses that you can climb and see the original lens, which is still operating. See the lens and staircase in the previous two images.
Have a great start to the new week ahead. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
