Portland Bill Lighthouse.

Lovely clean shot, Rosa. It reminds me of a particular lighthouse in Norway.
Cheers, Amelia

Thank you for your kind comments Amelia.
Have a good new week. Cheers, Rosa.

Another interesting photo, Rosa, it dwarfs the houses!!... YS.... John.

It is the newest of the Portland lighthouses John. I think it was built in 1906. Thanks for the YS. Cheers, Rosa.

Hello Rosa a lovely shot indeed and one most certainly liked by me

this may help also ... "

Lighthouses are painted differently to help identification of them by the mariner during the day. For example, a lighthouse may be painted all white if its surroundings/background is dark, such as fields or woodland. This will help it stand out from its background. The red and white stripes help the mariner identify the lighthouse if the lighthouse is up against a white background, such as cliffs or rocks. "

Best wishes ... Steve
