regis 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Turnberry Lighthouse marks a dangerous part of the Ayrshire coast, off which lies Bristo Rock which was responsible for many wrecks. The Lighthouse was designed by Engineers David and Thomas Stevenson. They examined the rock and reported on 18 May 1869 that it was inadvisable to erect a lighthouse on the rock itself, but suggested that the best place would be on Turnberry Point, where it now stands. It is situated close to the 9th hole of Turnberry Golf Course in what was once the moat of Turnberry Castle, which disputes with Lochmaben the honour of being the birthplace of Robert Bruce (1274 -1329). Please have a look at a larger version. Your comments/critiques much appreciated !!! Link to comment

lonebearimages 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Having served in the U.S. Coast Guard, I've always had a special place in my heart for lighthouses. This is a superb composition and exposure, Piotr. I really like the quality of the light and the colors you've captured. Excellent work! A 7/6 anonymously. Cheers! Chris Link to comment

whydangle 0 Posted November 17, 2007 Another super composition from Piotr. This is an under-observed image and I well know the acomplishment. 7/7 is a rating rarely used by me, but it easily applies to this one. Link to comment
