Soon I would like to upload images of other authorship. Where should the other authorship be inserted in the mask?

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...

Congratulation all users of World of Lighthouses, we celebrate today the National Lighthouse Day ! More informations: https://nationaltoday.com/national-lighthouse-day/ !

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.

Shortly before our ferry arrival in Kristiansand, Norway I have made a lot of pictures. Now I cannot identify two lights!
The pictures were made after passage of Oksoy lighthouse.
Picture 9039, Senskjer ?, B2948, GPS Data 58.098073, 8.047171
Picture 9044, think, thats not Kinn,  GPS 58.092311, 8.055625

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?

Has anyone informations about Navigation lights at Lake Balaton or River Danube in Hungary?

Mitko, you dont list Macau in the countries of Asia. I will upload some pics. But adding to China is not correct!

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?

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!

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!

You can see the trash?  Please remove it!

What is the recommondation for using keyword list? Creating new key words, or strongly using only list for uploads ?
Some keywords are doubles ( Ireland), some keywords describes only a small area!

During my Sweden trip last year I have made pics from the Halmstad harbor, estuary of Nissan River. I could imagine that this structures have been breakwater lights and now are not active?
Postion of DSCO1808 :56.661011, 12.854232 .  See the old bicycle!

During a lighthouse trip along the Atlantic coast of Morocco I was surprised to find the Mosquée Hassan II listed in Admiralty, D2573.5. It is a new entry!
Mosquée Hassan II is on of the highest religious buildings in the world and really impressiv.
What causes Admiralty to list this weak, red light at the top of Mosquee ? One reason may be for aviation!

Has anyone experience with lighthouse trips in Hong Kong and Macau? I am planning this trips for  February 2018 as my Visarun from Thailand! I will not drive a car!

The Trieux estuary at Lézardrieux seems to be a difficult passage for boats because of tides. There are many lights in the estuary, but no classification ?
