The formal name for this lighthouse is the Portland Breakwater Light, but most people know it as “Bug Light” for reasons that remain a mystery to me. Its design is Greek inspired with Corinthian columns. We happened to come upon this lighthouse as a schooner passed in the background. Good timing.
good timing indeed – almost makes me wonder the year of the photo !
and fun to see how lighthouses come in different shapes and sizes – and with fun names
They do all come in various shapes, sizes and colors. It makes them more interesting. Cheers
Great catch! This is one we missed.
Well, if you return….
I can see why they would call it a bug light. Great timing!
Thanks. I arrived in bike and trying to move quickly to get in position to make this image. Cheers
The timing of that is perfect! Nicely spotted.
Indeed good timing as it accentuates the background for this photo. Unique to see a lighthouse on Corinthian columns!ššš
Thank you Garfield. The Greek columns do make this rather unique. Cheers
