regis 0 Posted May 11, 2008 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

mike_stemberg 40 Posted May 11, 2008 Your standards remain exceptionally high! ...and Aha!...I noticed a different camera model too... not that I would have noticed unless I had not clicked on the 'Details'. Here's wishing you even higher standards! Link to comment

lonebearimages 0 Posted May 12, 2008 A grand landscape and a grand skyscape to boot! Gorgeous low-angle light. Beautiful composition; with a wonderful lead-in for the eye with the grasses along that ridge. Excellent capture; and good fortune with the new camera, my friend! Cheers! Chris Link to comment
rafal-ralph-lisak 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Very nice picture. The diagonal ridge in the foreground creates a very nice 3D effect. In terms of a perfect world improvement, I may be wrong but the horizon seems to be a bit tilted. Otherwise good work. Please keep posting. Ralph / Rafal Link to comment
