scottish landscapes - vertical format 01 "Turnberry Beacon"

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 !!!

Precious. Perfect shot

Very nice and clean image with warm colors! Well done.

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

The light and composition are excellent. Congratulation.

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.
