Fond Du Lac Lighthouse in February. Posting photos from winters past. So far no snow this year. Coincidently I finally broke down and bought my first snow blower last week!

The Queensport Lighthouse combines a lighthouse and keepersâ dwelling, a popular design for lighthouses in remote areas. The two-storey, wood frame residence is surmounted by a square lantern which is accessible from the second floor of the dwelling. Built in 1936, the lighthouse stands 12.5 metres (41 feet) high and is located on Rook Island, a small island off the shore of Queensport harbour, in Chedebucto Bay.

Through the years the lighthouse has been covered with sand, only the top is still there.
The Cape Florida Light is a lighthouse on Cape Florida at the south end of Key Biscayne in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It was built in 1825 and operated, with interruptions, until 1878, when it was replaced by the Fowey Rocks lighthouse. The lighthouse was put back into use in 1978. The lighthouse marked a reef four miles (6 km) (6 km or 7 km)off-shore, and still marks the Florida Channel, the deepest natural channel into Biscayne Bay. The construction contract called for a 65-foot-tall (20 m) tower with walls of solid brick, five feet thick at the bottom tapering to two feet thick at the top. It was later found that the contractor had scrimped on materials and built hollow walls. The first keeper of the lighthouse was Captain John Dubose, who served for more than ten years. In 1835 a major hurricane struck the island, damaging the lighthouse and the keeper's house, and putting the island under three feet of water

..not that I've had many of them...yet ; ) But today it's one month until our next exciting lighthouse holiday.
This picture is from our unforgettable Easter Holiday on Bjørnsund lighthouse in Romsdal, Norway last year. It was fantastic to be alone with nature a whole week.. We stayed in the house to the left.
This winter holiday we will go to KrĂĽkenes lighthouse in Nordfjord, Norway. My 30th birthday present from my husbandâş I'm SO looking forward to see more of the coast of Sogn og Fjordane county ă
I have more lighthouses here:

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to aid ships sailing along the rocky Northern California coast heading in to San Francisco Bay after a number of ships, most notably the Carrier Pigeon for which the lighthouse is named, sank on the shallow rocks just off shore. It is the tallest of the lighthouses in California and along the western cost of the United States standing at 115 feet (35 Meters). It's proximity to San Francisco, easy access from historic California Highway One and the remarkable scenery surrounding the Lighthouse makes it the most popular and picturesque lighthouse along the entire Pacific Coast. The first-order Fresnel lens which illuminated the New England style tower with 24 beams of light has currently been removed while the upper portion of the tower undergoes restoration. The lighthouse still functions with a smaller Coast Guard Beacon mounted on the exterior of the lighthouse.
Upon our arrival the entire area was covered in cloud when finally the sun broke from beneath the clouds at just the right angle to create a glow on the clouds above while still illuminating the lighthouse, rocks and breaking waves. The deep orange hues of the setting sun caused the red rock and fence to almost glow in red light. Yet there was still enough white light to bring out the blue waves below. This didn't last very long and scenery was constantly changing causing us to dash around the lighthouse to try and get the best angle on the ever-changing light. Days like these are hard to come by. The lighthouse is usually covered by fog or in stunningly clear
skies. But every so often, you get one of the most spectacular sunsets you will witness as the sun slips below the horizon of the Pacific.
No, those are not specks of dust to the right of the lighthouse, but seagulls and pelicans soaring high above the cliffs in a light ocean breeze. They show up nicely in the full 36Mpixel version. The green just below the lighthouse is actually ice plant that hangs from the rocky bluffs like
brilliant green and red curtains. I wish I could do more than just describe the soft smell of the salt air, the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below in order to make the scene inclusive.

Strumble Head Lighthouse stands on Ynys Meicel (meaning St. Michael's Island), a rocky island at the northwest corner of Pencaer, five miles west of the town of Fishguard, in north Pembrokeshire, Wales. The present Lighthouse was erected in 1908, but the first proposal to build a lighthouse here was made in 1825 by Trinity House. The Lighthouse replaces a light-vessel previously moored in the south of Cardigan Bay. The lighthouse is similar in construction to Stokholm Lighthouse and is among the last lighthouses to be built in Britain.
This place is indeed hard to find .. and once you find it .. you cannot stay for long.
I got there on a Saturday evening thinking taht I could stay beyond the 15 min parking rule.
Unfortunately there was an elderly many waiting and keeping an eye on who's parked for how long.
He did have an explanation for the 15 min rule and was polite about it.
he also gave a nice tip that its in July that the sun goes behind the lighthouse so you can get both sun setting as well as the Lighthouse in the same frame.
Not sure how the light would be staring into the sun.

OK - so, tell me my friends - colour or B&W? Which do you prefer?
I have increased the saturation a bit and reduced the luminance on the blue and aqua colour channels, but otherwise it's pretty much untouched.
The Trevose Head Lighthouse was built in 1847 to cover ships trading in the Bristol Channel off the coast of Cornwall, UK. Full details of the lighthouse can be seen on the Trinity House web site at www.trinityhouse.co.uk
I took this picture in September 2009 on a very windy day.
