Midworlder's Fotothing

we used to sail to the swiss coast where such an item is , and to sail around it, this is always such a great pleasure

i have never seen a lighthouse like this before ..good foto !

Interesting !!

Wonderful shot, I hope nobody lives there! ;)

Hope they do not get high seas there....love these unusual shots...thanks for showing

never seen one standing in the water on wood , nice suprise , how long is it standing over there , and how long does the wood hold on into the water hmmm i wonder : ))

Great shot....love the angle :)

Louise constructed in the 1870's it was de-manned in 1913 becoming the first fully automated lighthouse in NZ .. the Hauraki Gulf is relatively sheltered so despite it needing regular maintenance because of the elements I understand the construction is similar to the original after restoration in the 1980"s
