Bodie Lighthouse Interior (Looking Up) “Of all the early North Carolina lighthouses, the Bodie Island Lighthouse had the rockiest beginnings. Disagreements over the location delayed the building of the first lighthouse for ten years. After one year, one side was a foot lower than the other causing the lamp to stop functioning; attempts to prop up the lighthouse were unsuccessful. So, in 1859 a 90-foot-high brick tower was built as a new Bodie Island Lighthouse. In the early years of the Civil War, this lighthouse was controlled by Union troops. However, in 1861, Confederate troops slipped into the lighthouse and blew it up. The current Bodie Island Lighthouse was built in the model of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, except for having an exposed granite base. Even this lighthouse had a difficult beginning. Soon after it began operation in 1872, a flock of geese flew against the light, breaking glass panes and damaging the lens. Today, the lighthouse is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The lighthouse itself is not open, but the old keeper’s house is open as a visitor’s center and museum.” Information was obtained from the NC Division of Tourism “

Well I have just gotten back from a stint up the East coast on Sunday night, and of course had to stop in Byron Bay for what was supposed to be a night, but turned into 4. Took about a million photographs but only a few were Red Bubble worthy in my own estimation. Unfortunately for me, a very talented Lee Burgess has beaten me to the punch on the lighthouse by about 8 hours…Oh well, pays not to sit on piccies too long huh! For what its worth, this is my take…

Godrevy Lighthouse / Position 50 14’.5 N 05 23’.9 W / Godrevy Island is situated 3½ miles across St.Ives Bay, where rugged cliffs rise from the sea. Gulls, oyster-catchers and pipits make their homes on the island, which is partly covered with grass, as it slopes down to the sea. In springtime, carpets of brightly coloured primroses, sea thrift and heather bring beauty to the scene, for although the island is close to the mainland, it is open to the full force of Atlantic gales. A dangerous reef extends outwards towards St.Ives, called the Stones and on this many vessels have come to grief. On 30th November 1854, the iron screw steamer NILE was totally wrecked with the loss of all passengers and crew, and under public and mercantile pressure, Trinity House finally decided to erect a lighthouse in 1859. James Walker designed the station, and its welcome light shone out on 1st March of that same year. Two keepers were originally appointed to the lighthouse and they maintain the two lights, one a bright flashing white every 10 seconds, and the other fixed red, which marked the Stones Rocks. Their range was 17 and 15 miles respectively. The white octagonal tower, 26 metres high, is made from rubble stone bedded in mortar, and is sited together with its adjoining keepers’ cottages almost in the centre of the largest of the rocks. The cost of the station was £7,082 15s 7d. The original optic revolved on rollers on a circular race and was driven by a clockwork motor. This motor was in turn driven by a large weight running down a cavity in the wall of the tower. The station was also equipped with a 3cwt bell as a Fog signal, and this was struck once every 5 seconds. The lighthouse was altered in 1939, when a new 2nd order fixed catadioptric lens was installed, together with an acetylene burner. The fog bell was also removed, the keepers withdrawn and the lighthouse made automatic. Finally Godrevy Lighthouse was modernised in 1995 when it was converted to solar powered operation. The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from the Trinity House Operations Control Centre at Harwich in Essex.

Took this on my Australia Day 2009 weekend sea kayak trip around the Prom on our first morning. This was one of those cloudless and very intense summer mornings when the sun just catapulted up above that horizon becoming too intense and bright for good images almost instantly. This particular spot is away from any designated walking routes so is no doubt experienced only very rarely. I got up before dawn and before any of my buddies were even thinking of saying hello to the new day. So I got this beautiful sight all to myself and additionally didn’t have the worry of unthinking friends stomping their footprints straight through the middle of my compositions like happened the previous day. It’s funny I just walk around beaches very carefully these days totally aware of the impact my footfalls will have on any composition but of course this is not normal with others oblivious to such aesthetic considerations. The great looking lichens on the foreground rock were certainly a big bonus. Took a few of this one and the only way I could get any colour in the sky was to piggy back a 2 and 3 stop neutral density graduated filter (i.e. 5 stops) and then I had to make sure I placed them perfectly so I didn’t darken the headland (close but not perfect, good filter use is invisible and I haven’t quite succeeded in that here, I think I prefer winter sunrises). Fortunately my test shots were done pre-sunrise so I was all set up when the moment came. Amazing how much jiggery pokery it takes to get something to look the same as you see it. One of my companions had hiked the north end of the Prom years before, walking almost 60km in stifling heat on inland viewless tracks in two days with very heavy packs, there destination Lighthouse Point. When they got there he was bitterly disappointed to see a small light on a stick atop a short metal framed tower and not the impressive round stone building they had envisaged. I think Russ enjoyed this trip much better certainly gave us a good laugh to reminisce about his younger gung-ho hiking days.

Beautiful Double Island Point Lighthouse, built in 1884, and operational since. It’s a metal clad, over timber frame lighthouse, and the light today after many upgrades over the years, has 750,000 candle power! In 1992, the lighthouse had solar panels installed, and was no longer manned. Canon 50D, 18mm. Double Island Point, Rainbow Beach, QLD. Available Large.
