Lighthouses of the world

[DaveMcK]

There are over 20,000 functioning ligIhthouses around the world. I have seen about 75 of them  over the years. 

Many of them on the Pacific coast and the Great Lakes 

Sorry it took so long to set up this next topic!

Love this one!

""This is the Currituck Beach lighthouse in North Carolina. It is one of visitors favorites to climb, and the beaches there are incredible. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, you can drive right on the beach, and sometimes you’re blessed enough to see the wild horses.

The first couple of floors as you enter this beacon, is like a museum. It is incredibly maintained by the town.
The original first order fresnal lens still shines brightly. Check out my picture of it with the sun shining on it."

Beautiful!

The tallest #lighthouse in #Florida is at Ponce Inlet. It has fabulous exhibits and reproduction rooms in the dwellings. The lens building is awesome!

St John's point Lighthouse
Downpatric Ireland

    We were here a few years ago….it is awe inspiring, and still has the original Fresnel lens!  The local people shared with us that there had been an attempt to replace this with some newfangled type of lens, but that there were rousing protests, and the idea was abandoned.

     This is located in a breathtaking county with ancient roots, and well worth the trip.  I believe that, if you were to just google, “Downpatrick Ireland”, you’ll see what I mean! 😇

      Thanks Dave!
