A Guiding Light

Beacon Island - (BTT) They say being a lighthouse keeper is one of the loneliest jobs in the world, but how bad can it really be? A place of your own on oceanfront property, everyday is casual Friday, and shaving is not only optional, but discouraged - sounds pretty sweet to this author. I suppose one could always get a dog for company - yet another job perk. Standing tall along the jagged shore, this lighthouse, in its traditional red and white stripes, looks just and handsome by day as it does by night. Perhaps not the most active work environment, but certainly one of the most striking.

Guide the Ships

Straying away from the city scene, we come upon this terrific lighthouse built by MOCpages user zhan James. The tower itself is perfect, all it needs are some red stripes!

P.S. Lighthouses has been added to the Categories menu to the left!

Protecting the Shipping Lanes

An extremely well designed lighthouse. The American flag at the top and the lone tree add some nice character to this. All the colors mix together really nicely. LEGO should seriously consider making a lighthouse set one of these days, perhaps part of their Creator series.
