Description
A lighthouse is a tower, building, or other type of structure designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses and used as a navigational aid for maritime pilots at sea or on inland waterways.
Lighthouses mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals, reefs, safe entries to harbors, and can also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and replacement by modern electronic navigational systems.

an instant favorite of mine. I had to put it on my list of favorites to remind myself to go back to it and your lovely gallery, my dear Marcia. such a beautiful shot ! I do share your love of lighthouses, my lady. Yesterday, I shot the Whitefish Lighthouse on Lake Superior near St. Ignace in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It it beautiful with puffy clouds gracing the sky. Have you been there?
