A streak of lighthouses!

Lighthouse

We saw quite a few lighthouses on our recent road trip and this one was the most fascinating as we had a tour and climbed all the way to the top. It's about 43 meters high as per the guide and has an amazing history of how it was built and used. It was relocated many years ago to the present site which is by a beach and between plots of houses! I'd posted a pic of the inside of the lantern of the lighthouse and this is a picture of how it looked from the outside.

I think I would have liked to have lived on a lighthouse.

@pitstop They would be in the middle of some very wild weather from time to time.

The stairs are on the inside - spiral stairs right at the centre.

It was in 3 sections, so didn't feel strenuous.

Some parts of the climb are narrow.
