The Noorderhoofd, also known as Westkapelle Laag, is the second lighthouse in Westkapelle next to the high lighthouse in the village.
Another shot from earlier in the year, this is Trevose Head Lighthouse near Padstow in Cornwall. Cloudless days aren't always the best for photography but this was such a gorgeous day I think clouds may have ruined it.

"—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..."

One of the earlier lighthouses to be built by Robert Stevenson and first lit in 1817.

Lindesnes Fyr is de oudste vuurtoren van Noorwegen (1656) en staat op het zuidelijkste puntje van het Noorse vasteland (op 2518 km van de Noordkaap).
De vuurtoren is aangewezen als nationaal vuurtorenmuseum en biedt plaats aan verschillende exposities over de ontwikkeling en geschiedenis van vuurtorens, cultuur langs de kust enz.

Lindesnes Lighthouse was first built in 1655 in Lindesnes, Vest-Agder, Norway. In 1822, it was refitted with a coal lamp, and in 1854 a new lamp was installed with the current lens. The current cast iron tower was set up in 1915 and fitted with the old Fresnel lens. In 1920 the lighthouse station got its first fog signal, a siren. The fog signal and its machinery is placed in a building beside the tower.
During World War II the lighthouse was taken over by the Germans. Being an important watchpoint, the Germans built a small fortress with four guns and, after a while, a radar antenna. The traces from World War II are visible as trenches, tunnels, and other fortifications.
In the 1950s the lighthouse station was electrified and the fog signal was replaced with a powerful Diaphone. The fog signal was closed as a navigational aid in 1988, but it is still operational and is used on special occasions.
Lindesnes Lighthouse is owned by the Norwegian Coastal Administration and is still active. It is also a museum, operated by the non-profit Lindesnes Lighthouse Museum Foundation.[2] In addition to the buildings belonging to the lighthouse, keeper's cottages, sheds and boathouses, Lindesnes Lighthouse has a visitor centre inside the nearby mountain with exhibitions, a cinema hall and a cafeteria.

I was getting ready to photograph the sunrise at the inlet this morning and took a bunch of pictures of the lighthouse beams while it was still relatively dark. At home I combined a few of them to make this image. I have some other ideas how to photograph for this effect but would appreciate it if anyone would like to share their technique. Would multiple exposures work? Have a great day! (Sony a1ii, 16-35mm @ 16mm, various shutter speeds between .5 and 2 seconds.)
Breakwater (a.k.a. Walton) Lighthouse is the fourth structure built on this site to guide vessels into Santa Cruz Harbor. It was completed in 2002 and named after Derek Walton who served in the merchant marines and was lost at sea during World War II.
New Brighton Lighthouse was originally known as Perch Rock Lighthouse. Construction of the present structure began in 1827 though a light had been maintained on the rock since 1683. It was designed by John Foster, Jr, on the lines of Eddystone, and built by Tomkinson & Company using marble rock from Anglesey.
New Brighton Lighthouse or Perch Rock Lighthouse, is now a decommissioned lighthouse situated at the mouth of the River Mersey and Liverpool Bay on an outcrop off New Brighton known locally as Perch Rock. Together with its neighbour, the Napoleonic era Fort Perch Rock, it is one of the Wirral's best known landmarks.
Although the lighting apparatus and fog bell have been removed, the lighthouse is very well preserved and retains many features lost on other disused lighthouses. It was restored and repainted in 2001 when an LED lightsource was installed which flashed the names of those lost at sea; including all the 1,517 victims of the sinking of the Titanic. At low tide, it is possible to walk to the base of the tower, but a 25-foot ladder is needed to reach the doorway.
The lighthouse is privately owned and maintained by the Kingham family, and is a Grade II* listed building.Another plan to illuminate the lantern using LEDs and solar panels was achieved with a grant from the Coastal Revival and New Brighton Coastal Community Team (NBCCT) and has been operating since 2015.

Another place I used to visit frequently as a teenager; not a far walk from where I lived, it was always a scenic place to sit and listen to the waves, or to chat with friends.
Spoiled with the surroundings, you'd some times fail to notice the details in the building; or to take note of the history. I think these things are always appreciated a little more after a time away.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Hung around for several hours trying to be ready to catch that special moment when the final light of the day puts on a show. After a couple of long foggy days, I felt very grateful to witness such a beautiful sight.
The Lighthouse of Hellevoetsluis is a round, white, brick lighthouse with two floors and a height of 18.1 meters. The tower was designed by J. Valk and built in 1822 by K. van Golverdingen. The tower stands at the harbor entrance of Hellevoetsluis and is located at the Haringvliet.
Thanks for your visit and comments, I appreciate that very much!

Lindau is located on an island just off the northeastern shore of the Bodensee. This lovely and much-photographed lighthouse is located at the end of the west mole sheltering the town's harbor. The lighthouse was built by the railroad (now Deutschen Bahn) and is still owned by the railroad's Bodensee ferry subsidiary. (www.unc.edu)
Point Betsie Light is located on the northeast shore of Lake Michigan — at the southern entrance to the Manitou Passage — north of Frankfort in Benzie County in Northern Michigan. Construction began in 1854, but it was not completed until 1858, and began service in the shipping season of 1859.
The name Point Betsie originates from the Native American people who were in the area and communicating with the French at the time. The French "Pointe Aux Bec Scies" comes from the Indigenous word "Ug-Zig-A-Zee-Bee" which People of the Three Fires [Tribal] Council gave to a river flowing into Lake Michigan just a few miles to the south, where sawbill or Merganser ducks thrived. Translated, Point Betsie means Saw Beak Point.
