I like it . . . a lot! I'm not sure if that's in spite of, or because of, its excentricities. Probably the latter. I've long been a fan of Science Fiction and Fantasy literature, and this lighthouse looks like it could have been designed by J.R.R.Tolkien himself. But better yet, it really existed.

Even those who don't care for its appearance should admire the craftsmanship in this piece. My own favorite HL's are the more recent ones that are as much constructions as they are sculptures: The screwpiles, the open-frame towers, and those with pilings, open decks, and railings like Boca Grande. Eddystone carries that approach to a new high, with an incredible amount of detail!

I don't buy 'em all, not even most of 'em, but I will get this one.

I do have a question for someone less ignorant of British history that I am: Is the flag an early national flag of England, preceding the Union Jack?
