The right light

Replacing the Cape St George lighthouse , this one (at right) was erected in 1898 and first lit on 1 May 1899. It operated until January 1994, when it was replaced by the new solar powered LED light at left (and the site was de-manned - lighthouse keeper's house at right). The old light apparently is still lit for an annual Lighthouse Weekend in August of most years. As can be seen in the background, this is clearly at the entrance to Jervis Bay. View large. Happy Wednesday Wall, everyone.

The old light is so much more elegant than its replacement, so to see it lit for the weekend in August is perfect.

...and so here is the new lighthouse! It does look the same I think but performs its duties better here. Thanks for sharing.

Best Wishes. Herb

The differences in lighting technology and construction between these two lighthouses are fascinating, George!
Have a great Wednesday and the rest of your week, and stay well!
