From a holiday (in which we stayed in the Keepers house of that Lighthouse). No special things done to the photo, just one of those rarely occurring nice shots I think! Built in 1901, I think, Blackhead Lighthouse marks the northern headland of Belfast Lough with a sister lighthouse visible on the southern headland. I liked, when I was there, to imagine what it would have been like stood there watching the Titanic leave Belfast in 1911...:) Comments!

ooh, i love the story. i'd love to stay in this lighthouse or at least see it. the tower is well photographed against the blue sky. i like the lattice work around the light, just wondering what the lens is. nice work.

Nice detail and composition. That would be a nice view point to see any ship sail off into the sunset. Good work.

It's not how we fall, it's how we get back up.

Thank you for all the praise! What's funny is that it wasn't a particularly powerful camera, just a little compact one! I was amazing when I got this photo! It was fantastic staying there, the wind was especially bad one night - you could really hear it howling and when you went outside you could barely stand up! You can tell I had a wonderful holiday! :P
