Sorry, I was trying to be humorous, and get some history on the light, but thanks for sharing your personal profile as well. I assume the commission is Air Force(?)... The cat I assume is leaning toward the Marines or Navy... Ham...

Anyway, cool all the way around.

Hmm. How far from the castle is the lighthouse in st Augustine? I was going to do that lighthouse myself while I'm on my honeymoon there (in about 2 weeks time).

This is the Helwick - a mobile lighthouse (a lightship).

Camera: Nikon 995. f6.7, 1/340, iso 100, 8mm focal length.

Exposure taken 12/oct/2002

This lightship is now a museum after many years service and is located in Swansea marina, South Wales.

Rhys-

Thanks for reminding me. The attached photo was taken near the entrance to the Stockholm harbor in May 2003 back in the old Canon S-40 days.

Not too far...sorry I don't know the exact streetnames, but take the road that has the Castle on it down a couple blocks to a drawbridge.

The castle should be on the lefthand side of the road if you're going the correct way to the bridge. Make a left onto the bridge and follow the road until you see "Lighthouse Road". Make a left onto lighthouse road and it will take you through a windy neighborhood to the lighthouse and museum. Probably about 3 or 4 miles away if you're interested.

Go in the morning, because the sun will be in the way in the evening...unless you want to use that effect. Hope this helps!

A little underexposed I know but I liked the shape! Smeaton Lighthouse, plymouth, UK.

SeaSlug-

Even though it might be a bit under exposed, I really like it a lot. Thanks for posting a great photo.
