Great photos Toilapol. I particularly like the night-time ones.

This one was in the 'Where in the World' competition thread a couple of months ago, but really belongs here. Beautiful Howth, near Dublin in the Republic of Ireland.

When looking at images in this thread, Kvitnes light at the east inlet to Kristiansund would appear like a small light bulb. But anyway, here it is, and this was once a manned light. The remains of the living quarters can be seen to the left of the light.
