Yep, got to keep the ships away from those dead trees!!

On a more serious note, are those two more lighthouses in the distance?
No doubt!

1 lighthouse, 1 water tower.

Blackwell Island Light

This is a smallish lighthouse in Roosevelt Island (Between Manhattan and Queens)

"Built in 1872 and known then as the Blackwell Island Lighthouse, the fifty-foot-tall stone lighthouse at the northern tip of Roosevelt Island was built, if the legends can be believed, by the deranged occupants of a nearby insane asylum. But what’s not in doubt is that it was built by the city as a navigation aid for boats avoiding the rocks in the so-called “Hell Gate” waters." Roosevelt Island Lighthouse ?

Foreland head lighthouse in Fife:




I always think it looks like an overgrown searchlight building, but the OS map says lighhouse.

K3II and DA 50 f1.8

Thanks for looking

Something a bit warmer - Sanibel Island lighthouse in Florida

(dressed for Christmas)





Nearby there's a Lighthouse Café with wall-to-wall lighthouse photos (and decent food).

Does a light on a house count?

I love seeing the variety in designs and engineering around the world. Those are great pictures!

The Cape Byron tower almost looks like a mosque minaret or a Russian Orthodox onion tower... Very cool...
