Here's the Lighthouse yesterday afternoon. Lovely little part of the world. Lighthouse is at the end of one of the nicest streets in Australia... Federal Street, Aireys Inley.

Awesome photos Simo and Ted I am a sucker for a good lighthouse to this is Cape Moreton
My previous local... The great Barrenjoey.
(Palm Beach, Sydney... gotta take the time to not only climb onto the headland, but make the climb into the lighthouse tower. National Parks will charge you a gold coin. Worth every cent! I've been into the lighthouse about 12 times I think.)

The famous French photographer, Jean Guichard is best known for his explosive “Wave” photograph of a lighthouse off the coast of Brittany, France, showing a keeper at the door about to be engulfed by a titanic wave. The photograph is truly one of the most recognizable lighthouse photographs in the world. When first seeing the famous photograph, most people assume that the lighthouse keeper must have been killed. In fact, the keepers had been living in fear of death during the 1989 storm and at one point had taken refuge in the lantern room of the tower. Waves the night before had smashed through the lower windows of the tower, causing the structure to flood, washing away everything in its path including the television, table, chairs, coffee maker and even the refrigerator. The keepers in fact were waiting to be rescued by helicopter.
As Jean Guichard's helicopter approached the tower he was unaware that the keepers were waiting for a rescue helicopter. Guichard was simply there to take photographs of the waves pounding the structure. The keepers heard the sound of the helicopter and naturally assumed it was the rescue helicopter. One of the keepers opened the lower door of the structure and as he looked up at the helicopter and realized that it was not the rescue chopper, he also realized that a giant wave was about to engulf the tower. He immediately turned about and pulled the door closed behind him. Had he not done so at that second, he surely would have been killed. While all this was happening, Jean Guichard was busy taking photographs as fast as he could click the camera, thus capturing on film the most dramatic action shots ever taken at a lighthouse.
“Since the lighthouses are now automated and no longer have any lighthouse keepers, these photos are now also of historic value and with Guichard's autograph are sure to become a wonderful collectible,” said Tim Harrison of Lighthouse Depot, where Guichard was appearing.
Freaky Ted - imagine the impact vibes of them smacking up against it if you were inside

Thanks for the video
I had read the story but the video is even more scary that the photo.
I cant believe that they have managed to build the lighthouses in those spots to begin with.
