Macquarie Lighthouse in Sydney, Australia.
This second version of the same lighthouse dates from 1883.
The Newport Harbor or Goat Island Lighthosue stands at the northern end of Goat Island near a massive Hyatt Hotel.
There's an odd detail to the posted rules at this park, which is managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Dogs are allowed everywhere except the area around the lighthouse as shown here. Dogs are allowed down on the beach as long as they're on-leash, and there are signs warning people and their dogs not to harrass the seal pups that nest there.
So apparently this lighthouse is in more danger of damage from dogs than seal pups are. Funny, it looks so sturdy.
Rather unusually this view looks inland towards a lighthouse. The lighthouse in question is the 1890 built Trinity House managed Southwold lighthouse. Normally I associate lighthouses as being located righto in the seafront. This particular example is situated in amongst the old town of Southward.

Cape Liptrap Lighthouse stands upon the rocky cliff top of Cape Liptrap peninsula, on a solitary part of the South Gippsland coastline. The lighthouse warns ships of the rocks in treacherous Bass Strait.
Commissioned in the mid 19th century, Ballycotton lighthouse is still in use today but is automated and no longer manned. It is one of only a few lighthouses in the world that is painted black.
It seems like an age since I’ve been out and captured a good sunset, I seem to keep missing them at the moment so here’s a shot of Godrevy from a few weeks ago. I do love a bit of drama on the Cornish coast!
"Sunrise at Race Point Lighthouse"
Provincetown, MA
Race Point Light is a historic lighthouse on Cape Cod, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It was first established in 1816, the third light on Cape Cod (after Highland Light (1797) and Chatham Light (1808)). The original light was a 25 feet (7.6 m) rubblestone tower that featured one of the earliest rotating beacons, which distinguished it from others on Cape Cod. In 1858 the light got a fourth order Fresnel lens and, in 1874, a second keeper's quarters. In 1875, after significant deterioration of the original tower, it was replaced with an iron tower lined with brick. The original keeper's house was rebuilt as part of the project. The station was electrified in 1957. The larger keeper's house was removed in 1960 and the other was updated.
The station has been restored by the Cape Cod Chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation, and both the keeper's house and the whistle house are available for vacation rental.
Race Point Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Race Point Light Station on June 15, 1987, reference number 87001482.
After quite a hike suddenly the Ardnakinna lighthouse appears. Located at the western point of Bere Island (Ireland)
The roof of the oil storage building is to the middle left of this image. The lighthouse was opened to tourists. A thunderstorm was approaching from Lake Erie and ended our visit to the Isle.
