A lighthouse is a tower near the coast or next to it, although sometimes it is located in the sea some distance from the coast, which is located at the site of the shipping routes of the vessels and provides on top of a powerful lamp, whose light is used as a guide.

The lamp has Fresnel lens whose number, width, color separation and varies according to each lighthouse. When the lighthouse in the darkness is in operation, the lamp emits beams of light through the lens, rotating 360 degrees.

From the sea the boats not only see the light of the lighthouse, which warns of the proximity of the coast, but also identified the ranges and colors of the light beams, so that they can recognize the face of what the coast are found.

Modern satellite navigation systems like GPS, have downplayed the lights but still useful (safety) for night navigation and allows the verification of positioning on the navigation chart.

In restricted waters such as channels of access are still navigating by reference to buoys and lights on earth as it is not rowed since the relevant geographic position as well as the relative positions of the surrounding dangers.

At the entrance to ports, built by the Romans used to have high towers that served as a imitation of the famous lighthouse of Alexandria and erected by Ptolemy Lake remembering which pyres of apotheosis, was composed of truncated pyramids placed on a decrease in others. Sometimes also used as beacons colossal figures. This was the Colossus of Rhodes [1].

During the Middle Ages, the headlights were not subjected to any further except that its setting was sometimes remarkable. In the seventeenth century were not yet headlights bonfires of wood rather than burning coal in weirs or beautiful lanterns lamps encased in glass in 1782 until the engineer Teulère replaced as imperfect means of parabolic reflectors for lamps [2].

In the nineteenth century, the illumination of the headlights was a huge step with the invention by the Fresnel lens of stairs, consisting of a glass core surrounded by an ordinary series of thin rings whose profile is so we all have the same focus at the same time with Arago invented Frsnel twisted concentric lamps that produce an intense light equivalent to many lamps Jail [3].

In the past, the headlights have a keeper who used to live in the lighthouse, and had to deal with the maintenance and cleaning of light, especially light installations. Currently, lighthouses still in use are mostly operated automatically and remotely monitored.

Northern Lighthouses

Film of my trip today to the Lighthouses of the most Northern and Northeasterly points of the mainland UK:

Dunnet Head, Nr Thurso, Duncansby Head Nr John O Groats with views of Muckle Skerry ( Pentland Skerries) and Stroma Island Lighthouses.

The NLB was formed in 1786 as the Commissioners of Northern Light Houses by Act of Parliament, to oversee the construction and operation of four Scottish lighthouses; Kinnaird Head, North Ronaldsay, Scalpay and Mull of Kintyre. The Commissioners' most famous engineer was Robert Stevenson, whose sons David, Alan, and Thomas followed their father into the profession. The Stevenson dynasty built the majority of the Northern lights, in some exceptionally challenging locations. Their lights were some of the engineering masterpieces of their time, notably those at Bell Rock, Skerryvore and Muckle Flugga.

Between 1876 and 2005 the NLB also maintained foghorns at a number of locations. The last (at Skerryvore) was sounded for the last time on 4 October 2005.

Point Santa Cruz Lighthouse

The current working brick lighthouse was erected as a memorial to Mark Abbott, a surfer who drowned nearby in 1965. The lighthouse was built by his parents in 1967, and houses a surfing museum. The lantern room is from the 1903 Oakland Harbor Lighthouse.

The original lighthouse was erected on Point Santa Cruz in 1869. In 1878, the lighthouse was moved inland about 300 feet due to gradual erosion of caves underneath the point. During the 1940's the lighthouse was replaced by an automated wooden tower and the original structure was razed for salvage.

Funda Arar, Camdan Kalp

Son Dans

Camdan Kalp

Yar, senin hediyen
Bir gönül ağrısı.
Ah, ölüm olmalı.
Yok, aşk değil adı.
Aşk bizi terk etti
Ah, ne gelir elden?
Dertli bağrımda camdan bir kalp var.
Artık dönsen de
Geçmez ki bu kırıklar.

Sen gittin
Yastığımda kokun misafir kaldı.
Gözlerimden haylaz yağmurlar yağdı.
Ayrılık mı, sen mi, yoksa sevda mı,
Hangisi sebebim olur?
