Fastnet lighthouse
in the Wild Atlantic Ocean, Co. Cork |
|
First lighthouse built 1854, made of cast iron it replaced the light on Cape Clear. When the similar cast iron lighthouse on the Calf Rock was destroyed it was decided to build a granite one
My thanks to Capt. Colm Martyn of Irish Helicopters for flying me to the lighthouse and also to Capt. Mick Conneely
See it on the Southern Extreme Irish Lighthouse Tour

Below is an example of the artistic side of me. I have been told the rock is not quite as big as it should be, that my proportions are out, but at the end of the day it was fun to do |
