Somebody always beats me to H. :p

Terrific shots, everybody!! Jen, that is really wild!! Were you soaking wet?

Lighthouse Joe,

What state is the Lion's Club Headquarters located in?

THanks,
Sandy

Great pictures, everybody! I really enjoy looking at everybody's photos. Those are stunning range lights in Amsterdam, Lorie!

Sandy,
Its in Long Beach, California. Right next to Parker's Lighthouse Restaurant.

Sorry, no "U", but a wonderful Swedish lightship for "V". It is called VÄSTRA BANKEN and located in Stockholm in Sweden. Do you know, why I love the Swedish lightships? Because they all have a real lighthouse onboard. Something very special will happen to this lightship in the next time. After some month of restoration it will be brought to Grenada in autum 2006. So if anyone of you is planning to spend a holiday on the island of Grenada in 2007, I would be grateful for a new photo If you would like to know more about this lightship please click here: VÄSTRA BANKEN

From the info on your site, Iris, this current version appears to be the joining of two different lightships? The hull from one and the superstructure of another? Very cool looking. It will have quite a journey to Grenada - will it be traveling under its own power?

W is for Whitlock's Mill, ME



I got to use this in two threads... also used it in Ident-A-Lighthouse Game thread..

I thought it looked familiar.

Dave, you are right, lightship VÄSTRA BANKEN is a "mix" of two lightships. The lightship has no own engine so it will be brought "Huckepack" as we Germans say on a large carrier to Grenada.

Wow hope you can show the real picture of the lightship on the carrier ... That would be something to see!

Anyone for XYZ ??? Or do we get another drum roll and start at A again? I can't supply a whole A-Z, but I do have some more pictures

Jen,

Start a new part here, so this begins the next pass?

"A" is for American Shoal, FL:

B is for Burnham on Sea, UK


This unusual wooden light stands right on the beach a few miles south of here. This is the low light. Note the high light in the back.



You need to line them up so the red line matches up, or risk hitting a HUGE sand bank on your way into the river and to the marina

More information on our website at: Lighthouse Duo - Burnham on Sea

Very interesting "duo", Margret.

"C" is for Chatham Light, MA:




Margret,

Are all lighthouses in England and Canada white with red stripes? Is that mandated? If so, why?

Sandy

Sandy, no not ALL the lights have the stripes. They are only used in situations where a day mark is required - so ships can line up on a certain course to avoid rocks or sand banks even when the light is not lit.
But we have many lights in England without the stripes.

D is for Dahmeshöved Light on the German Baltic Coast



Jens and Anke have some Information about this lighthouse at their web site , but the photograph is ours this time.

Sandy, the Canadians use a lot of red stripes (and crosses) to help the lights stand out against a snowy landscape. Same reason the USCG switched from white hulled ice breakers to red hulls.

Interesting bit of information; I did not know that. Thanks, Dave.

E is for Esopus Meadows, NY

"F" is for the German lightship FEHMARNBELT, which is berthed in Luebeck today. It was a movie star after it was decommissioned, so maybe you know her as the HATTERAS from the movie "The lightship". To read more about her, please visit my lightship webpages: FEHMARNBELT

G is for Grand Island, NY

Thanks Margret and Dave.

Lightshipfan,

What are names of the two lights in your photo?

Sandy

Sandy, those two lighthouses are the Harbour lights in the town of Warnemünde on the German Baltic coast ... I am very much hoping to get "W" this time round ... then I'll show you the main light ...
(Hope Iris does not mind me answering the question)

H is for Hanstholm on the Danish West Coast



More information on our website
Lighthouse Duo - Hanstholm

Again. :p

Sorry Lou ... I know the feeling...

What is the list of lights at the beginning for? Are there any rules for this? Thank you.

Lighthouses from A to Z ... and the list at the beginning shows the lights that were already shown. It helps to see that ever so often to save repeats.

Has anyone got "I" or "J" or shall I go straight to "K"?

Looks like "K" is the next one up. . . .

Sandy

K is for The Kiama Lighthouse in New South Wales Australia


The picture was taken by son Ian a long time ago.

More information is to be had here:
Lighthouses of Australia Inc. -- Kiama Light

"L" is for Latimer's Reef, CT:

M is for Montara Point, Montara, CA

N is for Niagara-on-the-Lake Range Lights, Mouth of the Niagara River, Ontario, Canada



Front Range


Rear Range

That's a beautiful shot of Montara, Joe.

Sandy, thanks for asking the question and, Margret, thanks for the information about Iris' picture.

O is for Old Friedrichsort on the Kiel Fjord, Baltic Sea, Germany



This is all that is left of the old lighthouse. Since 2003 it stands in a car park in town.



This old post card shows how the light used to look when it still marked the narrowest point on the Kiel Fjord.

P is for Prince Edward Point, Quinte's Isle, Ont., Canada.

R is for Raspberry Island Light......
Mombo kind of took care of P and Q....

"S" is for Sands Point, NY:

T is for Toledo Harbor Lighthouse...

U is for Punta Brava Lighthouse, Montevideo, Uruguay.

My nephew took this photo while he was working in Montevideo.

Sunshine,

Think your photo qualifies as a "P" entry, not as a "U".

Sandy

I think "Uruguay" is a great way of getting past "U" .... not a letter easy to sattisfy!

Anyone got a "V"? Or may I post a "W"?

Since there does not seem to be a V, I'll make good my promise ...

W is for Warnemünde, the port for the City of Rostock on the German Baltic Sea

On your way into the harbour you first pass the two outer harbour lights:





Then you pass the two inner harbour lights:





And last but by no means least, there is the main Warnemünde Lighthouse.



When I took the picture, Rostock was hosting the German national Garden Show and so the lighthouse was decked in advertising.

I'm glad you were able to post "W", Margret. Thanks for showing us all five lights. Love the colors!

Tickles me to see how different lighthouses can be and still serve the same purpose.

Sandy

Thanks Margret
