HWW ~ The Bug

Another reminder of our US trip that included Portland, Maine. Here we see one of its lighthouses, affectionally known as Bug Light. Built in 1855.This elegant-looking lighthouse is unique because it's believed to be the only lighthouse in the world shaped like a 4th-century Greek monument. Four Corinthian columns hold up the lens.

Enjoy the day.

Lovely picture, Herb. I like the idea of its very specific uniqueness. I wonder if there are any lighthouses shaped like 5th or 6th century monuments? Now *there's* a subject for a Ph.D. thesis.
