Lighthouse of the Week, September 24-30, 2017: Lighthouses and storms


Because of the recent disastrous hurricanes that have hit the U.S., and which have severely damaged a few Caribbean islands and virtually all of Puerto Rico, I'm going to take a slight departure this week from a featured lighthouse, and just feature a few amazing images of lighthouses and big storm waves.  Consider this a tribute to the people that are managing to go on in the midst of extreme difficulty caused by this spectacular forces of nature.

And if you can, contribute to the relief efforts.

For the first two pictures, I do not have an identity for the lighthouse.  The third picture is Trevose Head in the county of Cornwall, England, taken by Nik Jewell.  There are a few other lighthouses on England's South West Peninsula;  a quick survey indicates six or eight, depending on how loosely the region is defined.  So I think I've got a theme for the upcoming weeks.
