Australia From The Air: Lighthouses
Some of my most popular posts have been about lighthouses when I was photographing Australia from the air. Here are just three posts about lighthouses in New South Wales, Tasmania and Victoria. Check out the other posts by clicking on "lighthouses" on the left in the Topics list. Be sure to check out my DVD "Australia's Coast from the Air" in which two of these appear.

Isle of Wight's Needles Lighthouse Makes a Point off the Coast of England
The Needles Lighthouse, off the Isle of Wight, England, was one of the "must see" lighthouses that I had to visit when in the United Kingdom.
It was built in 1859 by Trinity House to safeguard not only shipping travelling to Portsmouth and Southampton along the Solent but also shipping in the English Channel.
The present Needles Lighthouse is situated in the western corner of the island, off the south coast of the English mainland. It’s impressive, not only because of its location at the end of the rugged Needles rock formations jutting out of the sea, but also because of the helipad (built in 1987) on top of it.
Here's the link to the rest of the article on HubPages. It has more photos, videos, maps and information for you to enjoy.
