we passed this beautiful lighthouse while on the ferry from oban to the isle of mull. it was quite stormy. the lighthouse seemed to glow.......................enjoy! thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions............................"Located on Eilean Musdile, a small island lying at the southwest tip of Lismore at the entrance to Loch Linnhe, the Lismore Lighthouse lies 5 miles (8 km) northwest of Oban. Built in 1833 by Robert Stevenson (1772 - 1850) at a cost of £4260, the lighthouse protects busy shipping lanes from that port to the Inner and Outer Hebrides as well as access to Fort William and the Caledonian Canal."

Beautiful shot! These lighthouses always have some mysterious, peculiar positive impression on me: hope, salvage, guidance, endurance...all seem to be somehow associated with their presence. Great shot!

Just great Jen. The lighthouse really stands out against that stormy sky. What a view this must have been. I bet you snapped several and it was difficult to choose which one to post. I think you made a good choice, this is outstanding.

Beautiful the way the lighthouse stands out against the dramatic sky, and hills in the background. Got it all.

You are so right. The lighthouse does seem to glow and it stands out so well against that louring Scottish sky. A beautiful shot.

Very striking design. It has a sort of Moorish flavor.

It's the perfect backdrop - a blue summer sky wouldn't be as powerful as those threatening clouds. Looks like a really amazing place and it's a great composition. Faved.

I am amazed at the ground you two covered after the meetup. It must be so nice to have a mate that shares all this with you. Beautiful lighthouse.
