General Discussion / Lists of lighthouses from Thailand
January 30, 2020, 02:08:00 AM
Recently I have made a trip to Eastern lighthouses of Thailand. I have found some lights not listed in Admiralty or Lighthouse Directory. But there are two lists, I cant find.
For instance, yesterday I uploaded Rayong lighthouse. Beside Admiralty and ARLHS the Directory mentioned THN-114 and NGA 20600. ??? ;)

General Discussion / Swedish lightships
January 06, 2020, 01:32:25 AM
After almost 16 years I made a correction of one of my pictures. In 2006 I followed "The Lighthouse Directory" to Northern Bothia and made a picture of a lightship, northern of Uppsala. Lighthouse Directory called this lightship " Finngrundet",
Now Erich Hartmann made this correction, thanks! This is Fyrskepp № 23 Kopparstenarna ! ;)
Everyone who is interested in lightships should visit

Travel center / Lost lighthouse on Menorca
October 14, 2019, 12:28:19 PM
Menorca is a wonderful place for lighthouse lovers. 7 great lighthouses are accessible easily by car! Now the question for our spanish lighthouse friends ! I have made a picture at a roundabout in Mahon. In the middle is a lighthouse lantern. The tourist information in Mahon could not answer my question about the origin of this lantern. Might it be the lost Mahon lighthouse listed in Lighthouse Dictionary?

Had a short discussion with captainpet about the choice of cameras to make great pictures of our lighthouses. Maybe we can discuss on a broader basis.
I prefer small cameras, low weight, to stuck it in my pants pocket. Now I use a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX 90V. I like this small camera, but the disadvantage is, these compact cameras can not achieve a greater zoom. The Sony has a 30 zoom. More would be better... ;)

I have seen more than 2700 lighthouses around the world, but  I was rarely so impressed as I was from the Lindesnes Lighthouse. Adventure world Lindesnes fyr !
The lighthouse is a protected site of cultural heritage in Norway. It is easy to reach by road, parking provided.
There is a visitor center with multimedia shows, restaurant, gift shop and well preserved historic buildings. Entrance fee is about 8 € ! It is open from May till October. So the lighthouse is  one of most known Norwegian lighthouses!
I was happy to have seen this great lighthouse. :)

Long time ago I tried to found out anything about this lighthouse. Is it a false lighthouse , a replica ? Geo position: 46°13'49.0"N 63°07'20.8"W

Online list of lights shows four similar lights in front of Plymouth Breakwater lighthouse. This seems to be the situation 13 years ago! Now there are only 3 lights. Who can identify? ;)

General Discussion / List of Hong Kong lights?
May 25, 2018, 07:51:18 AM
Who knows, where I can download the Hong Kong lights list?

On a trip to Samut Sakhon, Mae Nam Tha Chin Entrance , I was surprised, when I took a boat to see the lights F2938-F2938.6 ! All lights were replaced by buoys! I took pictures from buoy 8,9,10. The boatsman told me, that many collisions with the lights were the reason for the replacement with buoys! Does the Admiralty knows these facts?

Travel center / Twin lighthouses
March 27, 2018, 02:08:22 AM
On my trip to New England I have seen two twin lighthouses, Navesink in New Jersey and Thacher Island, Massachusetts. Today it is hard to understand, what is the need to build two expensive lighthouses at same place!
Are there more twins in other places than New England?
Attached two pictures from the Navesink. One picture shows the view from North to South tower. Third picture is a distant view to Thacher Island lighthouses, accessible only by boat. Boat tours are available in July an August!

Lighthouse identification / Sweden / Krokås area
January 19, 2018, 01:47:59 AM
Trying to end the discussion in the Forum. Mitkos sea card is correct! Alexander Trabas helped us to identify the Rear light by a street view picture!
What is realy confusing, the Front light at sea front (C7430) has a triangle with tip down and the Rear Light has no triangle! Now we looking for the next visitor to make a great picture of the Rear light! ;)
