Ballycotton lighthouse

The lighthouse on the steep island of Ballycotton, Co Cork, is unusual as it is painted black. This was done so that sailors wouldn't confuse it with a nearby buoy.

Looks so windswept and forlorn up there.

Either that or Mick Jagger was the architect. Oddly enough it does stand out well against the sky, better even than a white one would.

Very unusual, I'd like to have a closer look.

Black seems an odd choice, distinctive though :)

Beautiful lighting and colors in this very sharp and well composed image. Voted
