If you enlarge and look closely, you can see the newer automated steel lattice skeleton tower with a solar powered light, among other things.

The distinctive double-curved gunmetal handrail and the corbels that support the wide gallery - the 'signature' features of a Barnet designed lighthouse.

Hey Rich, this is a wonderful set. I just love the semi-abstract quality of most of these shots, my favourites being 3, 7 & 10 — the last being a screamer. I don't much go in for phallic symbols — as Freud himself said, "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar". But you'd have to wonder about #1?? There is something of real visual interest in every shot, and they cohere to make a real set. Nice!

wooow! I love lighthouses. It always represents for me a place where I can take a rest and get energized with the see and the sky. Great images! Thanks for sharing! :)

Nicely observed detail. I like the line of cloud behind the tower in #1. Not sure if it was Barnet, but the builder who won the job of building this ran into terrible troubles, and subsequently committed suicide. For a great read, I highly recommend the story of the Bell Rock lighthouse in the Engineering Wonders of the World book, based on the TV series.

These are great. For one thing, the IQ is outstanding throughout. Also, you've beautifully captured aspects of the whole from the magnifcent macros structure of #1, the mid-size stairs of #7, down to the cogs and even a door handle. Gives a wonderful sense of the place. Even the vast surrounds are hinted at in the reflections and glimpses through window and door. Top set!

Fabulous set! I love glimpses through doors and windows - the rest aren't bad either ;-)

Lighthouses are amazing. I have never got to see one in person, but hope to some day. I love #3.

After reading some of these comments I'll never be able to look at a lighthouse the same!! Sheepishly I'll just say I've never seen one up close before and have always found them quite attractive. I can't believe you got to go inside, what a treat!! Excellent shots Richard. I love #1 and #3. As for #6, I thought I was looking at a "newer automated steel lattice skeleton tower with a solar powered light!" (not) ; )) #10 is wild!!

I love lighhouses and this is most certainly a "fancy" lighthouse—elegant. You've captured the grace and line beautifully.

I favorited #10! That looks like an invitation to come down to the beach if every I saw one! EXCELLENT use of framing. I love it! I love the details in all of these. What a great old beauty she is, especially with that winking Fresnal eye!

These shots are phenomenal....I love every one of them!! I put #1 in my faves right away and then looked at the rest of the set and thought they all belonged there! The last shot is amazing...Thanks for sharing this series!!

This is an awesome set!! Hard to pick a fave, I love #1 & the glass & reflection of #6 is fabulous! Love the last shot too. What's this talk of phallic symbols anyway? It's a lighthouse! Jagungal needs to get his mind out of the gutter for goodness sake!!
