The North Foreland Lighthouse which guards a corner of the North Sea and the English Channel started in 1499.In 1636 a fire burned it down and a new one was built. In 1698 it burned a 100 tons of coal a yrear. It is now automatic.
Hi Viscount driver,
A really good, well exposed image. You have managed to capture the texture of the lighthouse walls ( white is never the easiest to photograph). On a personal note, I would have been tempted to clone out the power lines invading from the top right, but that is purely a personal thing. Perhaps, if you had not cropped so tightly, the image may well have looked a little better so that the structure on the top did not disappear out of the frame. Never the less, an accomplished image by an accomplished photographer .
Magic!...... Norman.
Thanks Normanc. I was tempted to clone the power lines but thought it was now a part of the lighthouse.I did crop. You think too much?
Love lighthouse picts. esp well done ones.
