Day one of my trip around the lighthouses of the Kent coast, with the Association of Lighthouse Keepers. Ramsgate and North Foreland. Great lighthouses and great company.

Roman floor tile with a sketch of a lighthouse (or space rocket? 🚀😉) The sketch was scratched into the wet clay before firing. Two Roman lighthouses flanked the harbour at Dover, the main base of the Roman fleet ‘Classis Britannica’. British Museum 📷 by me #TilesonTuesday #Archaeology

I love getting page proofs! Today I'm proofreading my Lighthouses of Wales book, which is due out in November. More information at lighthouses.wales

Nash Point lighthouse was switched to unmanned operation #OnThisDay in 1998, the last in Wales to be automated. Find out more about it on my website lighthouses.wales/the-lighthou... or in my upcoming book Lighthouses of Wales.

There were lots of images of lighthouses, including South Stack and the previous one on Salt Island, Holyhead harbour.

Have a peaceful Sunday, folks 💙 Here’s Mumbles Lighthouse with the RNLI lifeboat in the distance.

I enjoyed sailing in to Dublin Bay on the ferry this week, getting great views of the lighthouses: Kish Bank, Bailey, Poolbeg and North Bull.

#Lighthouses are often in wild places - it has been a wonderful adventure to have helped track them all down with @angleseyhistory.bsky.social @lighthousewales.bsky.social - book cover looks super too! #Wales #IrishSea #heritage

I'm very pleased with the cover design for my new book, Lighthouses of Wales. It is due to be published in November 2025. Find out more and pre-order a copy at: lighthouses.wales/lighthouses-... Note: the lighthouses shown are Bardsey and South Stack.

Lovely piece on BBC Radio 4 this morning, writer Henrietta McKervey spent a night in Fastnet lighthouse in Ireland and listened to the Shipping Forecast music, 'Sailing By', as she drifted off to sleep. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

My conservatory is getting a lighthouse theme with a new "Phare" decoration I picked up when in France recently.

Final day of the Association of Lighthouse Keepers tour of Anglesey. We stopped at Point Lynas, in the company of Gaynor who grew up at the lighthouse where her father was keeper, and Amlwch Port lighthouse. Read more at lighthouses.wales/the-lighthou... and lighthouses.wales/the-lighthou....

Another good day with the Association of Lighthouse Keepers tour of Anglesey. We went to Holyhead Breakwater lighthouse, where we climbed the tower, and also to the disused Admiralty Pier/Salt Island lighthouse at Holyhead Port.

An excellent day today with the Association of Lighthouse Keepers tour of Anglesey, visiting the Skerries and South Stack.

Do ships still use lighthouses today? Back in the day, ships had to navigate using all manner of methods before GPS was invented. Now it tends to be far easier … but lighthouses still have a role. Photo: Sapelo Island Light GA www.slashgear.com/1872933/how-...

John Smeaton, a civil engineer who designed bridges, canals, harbours and lighthouses, was born #otd 1724 in Austhorpe, east Leeds. Often regarded as the 'father of civil engineering'.

#OnThisDay in 1998 the flag was lowered at St Ann's Head lighthouse, Pembrokeshire, as the keepers were withdrawn and it switched to automated operation. It was the second last in Wales to have full-time keepers; they were withdrawn from Nash Point soon after. lighthouses.wales/the-lighthou...

Lighthouse advice This is the Trwyn Du Lighthouse in Wales. Well, where else would it be with a name like that? But it does look lovely and chunky. Lighthouses are great because they light up and stop boats and ships from hitting rocks at night. But this one has an added trick: it has words on it…

Banksy is now being inspired by lighthouses, as we all are! Anyone know where this is? "New Banksy revealed but location remains a mystery" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#OnThisDay 1788 Augustin-Jean Fresnel was born. I've been honored to portray the inventor of the Fresnel lens for lighthouse & maritime orgs & I'm certainly looking forward to performing for many more in the future. #lighthouses #lighthouselovers #lighthousehistory #maritimehistory #uslighthouses

A submission to the #blueskyartshow for the theme #lines. A close up of a lighthouse bulb! "A lighthouse is not interested in who gets its light! It just gives it without thinking! Giving light is its nature!" - Mehmet Murat Ildan #lighthouse #rainbow #spectrum #photography #color #bulb #refract

Augustin-Jean Fresnel, French civil engineer, physicist, born #OTD 1788, whose optics research led to acceptance of wave light theory; his rotating Fresnel lens revolutionised lighthouse technology, projecting beams at greater distance (first used Phare de Cordouan 1823).

New book day! This just arrived from Berlin: "Wächter an rauen Küsten: Eine Reise zu den Leuchttürmen in England, Wales und auf den Kanalinseln" (Watchmen on rugged coasts: A journey to the lighthouses in England, Wales and the Channel Islands) by Jürgen Tronicke. I need to work a bit on my German!

#79 Strumble Head, Wales 03/11/2007 One of my favourite early photos given a makeover. We wandered down to the lighthouse on a fairly dull day and suddenly the sunset appeared. The noise squashing software in LR is allowing images that were previously too noisy to be processed. #photography
