Here are the lighthouses of Europe.
The map is even better than it might seem at first glance: the colors are the real colors, the patterns are the real patterns, and the size of the dots is the distance at which each light is visible. https://t.co/y7QzV1v7GF pic.twitter.com/9Zbh4Da62B

Only you can decide.

Ballycotton Island and Lighthouse, east Cork

“I thought this was pretty cool. I took a trip out to Ballycotton Lighthouse yesterday in my home of East Cork, only to realise that the tower I’ve been looking across the bay over the years is actually black….
It turns out that as far as my guide and Google know, it is one of only three black lighthouses in the world (the others are in Victoria and Texas). Why, is anyone’s guess but either way it just adds a further USP to East Cork along with Trabolgan and Darina Allen’s banana bread. Who knew?!”
There you go now.
A new sign for The Lighthouse cinema in Smithfield, Dublin.
Fair play though, in fairness.
