Just about all of these appear to be priced at 8€. I found myself tempted to begin a collection.

My father's lighthouse, after he and (mostly) my sister spent 2 days scraping, sanding, patching and repainting it. This is the BEFORE picture: [spoiler=spoiler][image] [/spoiler]

That looks like quite a bit of work, even for a mini lighthouse!

Wonderful lighthouses, everyone.

Here's my photo of the same lighthouse in Maine that greyghost captured so beautifully in #24-25, though mine is indistinct.

It was our first day of spring: nice and warmish (for Belgian standards, anyway) so I thought I'd find you a lighthouse!

Haven't been to this thread in ages. There are some real beauties here. Love the color & design of the Belgian one, the no-nonsense, packed-with-modern-electronics one from Kerouac, The Shipping News example from NYCG, but I adore the WPA era painting in #37.

I stumbled upon the only lighthouse in Manhattan.

I like the way that the bike matches it.

perhaps not an efficient lighthouse because Aubervilliers is far from the sea...
