  Lighthouse
. . . . a beacon to guide
mariners through
the darkness of night.
. . . . a landmark by day.
. . . . a major aid to
navigation.

Thousands of lighthouses dot the coastlines of the world.
At one time, there were many more.
For centuries they have provided essential guidance
to mariners sailing at night.
Today, many of these historic landmarks have fallen
into disrepair or been demolished as "unnecessary."
Many more are in danger.

 Well, I had   to change the page format again.  . . . .
to accomodate German lighthouses that can exhibit up to 5 lights  from the same tower.    Seems like I  run into sommething new on  every trip.

I now have a permanent connection to the internet via satelite {Starband} so should be able to do more work on the website .

 I just spent 3 frustrating weeks in Germany and Holland.  The weather did not cooperaate.  Lots  of pictures with gray clouds for a background.
