Built on a rocky island in Cornwall, the 86ft high octagonal tower is made of rubble stone bedded in mortar. The lighthouse has been operating since March 1859 and automated in 1934.

Great color and composition! How far off mainland is this island? The cloud cover in this shot is wonderful, very much like a painting.

We make a living by what we get; but we make a life by what we give.
Mick, that's is super shot!
What a great subject this lighthouse makes. You captured the reflecting sun so well.
Magnificent, 10!

If you can't find the words, you may as well shoot it...
Very eye-catching shot, Mick, set all alone out against the blue of the sky and ocean...great job.:Pat.

The new year is full of time. As the seconds tick away, will you be tossing time out the window, or will you make every minute count?
Recognised it immediately from the thumbnail! A lovely clear shot, with great lighting, and the sky makes an excellent backdrop. Beautiful :-)

This is absolutely stunning eye pleaser. Reminds me of a splinter cell game I played. Just perfect sky and the all lighten up little island looks so heavenly. High marks from me too.

Kindly visit my gallery and comment on my photos.
The darkness of the sky in comparison to the bright island really makes this picture.

If a picture is good enough for you to click on, it's good enough for you to vote on.
Great contrast between the overcast sky and the sunlit island. But I suspect you edited the sky a bit. I wonder did you take the photo from the air? Right into my favourites.

Ah, I love lighthouses.... Very nice, what always gets me is your capture of clouds. Cheers!

Hi Mick, I think this is one of the best photos of a light-house I have seen!! I have been enjoying your gallery and you have some pretty nice photos Mick! You are a good photographer! There is something about light-houses that always intrigues me, the foghorns and sirens used to help ships navigate through difficult places! There is an element of mystery that always surrounds them! I live in Michigan, USA, and this state is surrounded by water, better known as "The Greats Lakes", so I am very familiar with them! We have them up and down all coastal areas! I just love them and am mystified by them! Very nice photo! Sincerely, Marilyn

You have the most extraordinary technique with light--the sky in each of your photos smacks of drama and portent. Love it.

Wow, this is a spectacular photo. You took it from a perfect position, so that we can clearly see everything on the island and the horizon behind the island as well. It's one of those pictures that makes you want to enter the picture and explore the place. The clouds and lighting make the picture even better than it might have been. Well done.

well, this is certainly right up my alley!!!! it's a wonderful light. i think it's Godrevy. i went to cornwall and saw the trevose light. we became friendly with the people who run the lighthouses from Trinity. I LOVED IT. and i loved cornwall....can't wait to go back jen

Tomorrow might never be + When you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything - Doc Brown ___________My Gallery___________
That is something else. Wow, what a wonderful capture. I will say it again, you are so lucky to live where you do. The photo opportunities and historical beauty is boundless. In Canada the oldest places you will find are early to mid eighteenth century. Still old but nothing compared to what you could dig up around Cornwall. Very beautiful picture!!........................LPF

"Love starts at home: family first then the indivdual then your town. its easy to love people far away,but it is not always easy those right next to us. I do not agree with the big way of doing things. Love needs to start with an individual." -Mother Teresa ( But in my opinion whever there is world crisis it is wise to give.)
My mother loves lighthouses, and I'm sure she'll make this her wallpaper. Well done!

No Sig, Just, I want to say "Thank You" to all of the talented photographers for giving me the most beautiful desktops and screensavers I could ever imagine. The artistry here is breathtaking.
I really like the colors and the detail in this picture. Great clarity. This will make a popular wallpaper download.

Without our natural landscapes and animals this country would be boring. Let's try to help to preserve such treasures.
Not much more I can say that hasn't been said....but to me it looks like you carved out the land where the lighthouse sat and dropped it in the ocean!!!!! Another favorite...thanks!!!!
