LIGHTHOUSES OF THE WORLD.

.... and a very neat place where I stayed ...


(Part of the sitting-/dining-room in the b&b)

Sounds good - if you don't mind, I could meet you there (Netherlands, preferably, because it's close.)

cool, were still in the early stages of timing and itinerary and art museums that are exhibiting Vermeers and are OPEN.

Great shots.

Harbour entrance with the watchtower of the Ile de Tatihou in the background. (I've used this watchtower mainly as bearing - you sometimes hardly could see the other lights in daylight. [Our "dope slope" for mine sweeping was some miles away of this place.])

You won't guess it, but this lighthouse really is called "Phare de La Hève" (in Le Havre).

Is that some kind of beanie on the top of the lighthouse? Or is it a kind of spoiler?

I thank that it's a radar, piloting ships to the port(s) of Le havre.

That lighthouse, however, is in so far important as it has been one of the first to be electrified - really powerful, compared with the candled up fires of the 1860's.

See here and here.

Cap de la Hague lighthouse



La Plate, not so well known, 3 miles north of de la Hague phare (in the background, the ferry Cherbourg-Rosslare).



Barfleur lighthouse

One might wonder about this lighthouse ...



... on the Neusiedler See (Lake Neusiedl), in Poddersdorf (Austria, close to the Hungarian border)

But it has really some function(s):

There was a series of shots of this particular lighthouse and the storm. It had been marketed as a big black and white photo/poster that included some inspirational phrase that, to me , made no sense .
The onlycomment I would consider as appropriate would be

"GET THE HELL BACK INSIDE STUPID"

He did go back inside. If you read the story he was outside thinking the helicopter was there for their rescue. When he saw they were there to take pics he quickly opened the door and got in and shut the door quick, because he also realized the storm was bringing this powerful wave.

Cape Leeuwin, SW Australia. Where the Indian & Southern Oceans meet. This site was a final leg in Abby Sunderlands solocircumnavigation 2010.


Built from 1895 to 1896 the tower and cottages are built of local limestone.
The original light source was kerosene wick lamp, then the world's largest, revolving in mercury bath.

This light had an intensity of 250,000 candelas and was visible for 40km.

In 1925, the light was upgraded to vapourised kerosene with a mantle, giving a light intensity of 780,000 candelas.

In 1955, a radio beacon was installed.

The light was totally manually operated until 1982 when it was converted to electricity replacing the clockwork mechanism & kero burner, one of the last in the world. The new 1,000 watt halogen lamp increased the candelas to 1,000,000.

This light was automated in September 1992.
The tower has seven floors and 186 steps.
The tallest lighthouse on mainland Australia.

I don't know where this LH is located but it's a pretty wild ocean. The building structure tells me maybe , i don't know, what do you think?

wouldnt display the web page on my carrier. HMMMM, IT DID COME UP AFTER I SENT THIS POST> PRETTY CREEPY lighthouse Tsar

It looks like a scene out of a FPS (first person shooter) horror video game.

I'd suspect hostile interdimensional aliens or zombies were lurking inside if this was a video game.

Went driving about the island last week and was favorably impressed that it wasnt fucked up as I expected. I went to the Robert Moses park and got some shots of the Fire Island Lighthouse. Even though this is a stock photo, mine were just as good and will be better after my secretary gets done doing some photoshop magic that I want her to.

Here she is, Fire Island Lighthouse
