LIghthouses

 

Cape Egmont Lighthouse, North Island, New Zealand

With Mount Taranaki’s regal peak looming in the background, the location of New Zealand’s Cape Egmont Lighthouse is as spectacular as they come. The lighthouse itself is pretty as a picture, too. Built in London in the mid-1800s, the pieces were shipped to Mana Island, north of Wellington, in 1865 where the lighthouse stood until 1881, when it was moved to its present location at Cape Egmont. With its traditional white conical tower and bright red door, the lighthouse stands out against the rugged countryside in this atmospheric shot.

Lighthouses

 

Cape du Couedic Lighthouse, Kangaroo Island, Australia

With its far-flung location on the southwestern coast of Kangaroo Island, Cape du Couedic lighthouse wasn’t accessible by land when it was first built. Instead, materials and equipment were transported to the lighthouse by boat and hauled up using a flying fox winching system, which was initially powered by horses. Today, the lighthouse is fully automated and accessible by road.

Lighthouses

 

Tourlitis Lighthouse, Andros, Greece

Precariously perched on top of a stone column which looks almost custom-built, the rocky outcrop which holds Tourlitis Lighthouse was in fact carved out by crashing waves over thousands of years. Located off the city of Andros, on the island of the same name, this dinky 23-foot (7m) tower was originally built in 1887. However, the lighthouse was destroyed in the Second World War and the structure that stands today was rebuilt in the 1990s.

Lighthouses

 

Cape Byron Lighthouse, New South Wales, Australia

At Australia’s most eastern point stands the regal-looking, white conical tower of Cape Byron Lighthouse. Towering 387 feet (118m) above sea level, this Victorian-era light was designed in the style of architect James Barnet – its ornate, turreted base is emblematic of his style. Since being erected in 1901, the lighthouse has stood watch over Bryon Bay and become a favorite location for wildlife spotting.

Lighthouses

 

South Stack Lighthouse, Wales, UK

Perched on the tiny islet of Ynys Lawd just off Anglesey’s western coast, the far-flung South Stack Lighthouse can only be reached by clambering 400 steps down a steep cliff and across a bridge. Constructed in 1809, the conical-shaped tower was largely built from limestone quarried from the islet itself. In this striking aerial shot, the 92-feet (28m) tall lighthouse looks impressively remote.

LightHouses

 


Split Rock Lighthouse, Minnesota, USA

Jutting out on a rocky plinth over the north shore of Lake Superior, Split Rock Lighthouse is an iconic Minnesota landmark. Built following a particularly brutal storm in November 1905, which destroyed or badly damaged 18 ships on the western part of the lake, the lighthouse was opened in 1910. Today, thanks to its attractive yellow-brick octagonal tower and unbeatable clifftop location, it’s become an attraction in its own right.
