Lighthouses

Grafton, IL
Mississippi River
 
Cape George Point Lighthouse, Nova Scotia

Sorry for the low quality of the setting/composition, I was distracted. ;-)

This is the 3rd lighthouse built on the site. This one is automated and the grounds are maintained by volunteers.
Originally built in 1861, and automated in 1968, it had just 4 Lightkeepers over it's 107-year history of being manned.

Fort Amherst, the light keepers house is privately owned and gated so you can’t ride there anymore. This is on the south side Of St. John’s harbour with Cape Spear in the distance.

Some lighthouses in Scotland. They seem to prefer a similar color scheme on their lighthouses, at least the ones I saw.

Looks like your original pictures were referencing the I-BMW sport touring forum. That seems to be gone, right? Did they move somewhere? But since you've uploaded them to the MOA server, they won't disappear now. BTW...you could have gone back to the old thread and just edited it and uploaded the pictures there. Just FYI...
 
A few more from last fall when we went to Mackinac Island with the bicycles.

That's correct the pictures were copied from my photo Gallery at the I-BMW forum. When that forum went down all the pictures were lost.
I've been slowly going through and replacing pictures I copied and pasted to the ADV picture forum.

If you happen to spot any other pictures missing here, PM me and I will replace them.
