Fotoi: may I add a close look of Bottö lighthouse seen in your shot in the far background of that fine pilot boat shot?

A first shot with Gothenburg's Älvsborgsbron (the bridge) and Gäveskär lighthouse on the left-hand side. It shows why using pilot boats is no luxury in these waters even when the area is not shrouded in thick fog, a common occurence in the colder season.

A second photo where some large boats just brush past Bottö lighthouse on the main shipping lane when leaving Gothenburg.

At Cape Scott, NW tip of Vancouver Island BC, Canada the light is not actually attached to the house... or much of a building for that matter.

That DID come to mind as I was posting it. Not many quality lighthouses in the rust belt or the Canadian Prairies, of course

Which reminds me to divert to some of those on my next trip out west and add to my collection.

Michigan has more than a few, Wisconsin and Ohio have some, and even Oklahoma City has at least one. The desert seems an unlikely place for lighthouses, but Lake Havasu has several. As you added, never say never.

Like the two people on the rock looking down; adds to the sense of scale and drama.
