just a little follow up for anyone who is interested in the men and the machinery

also a tiny little piece showing 'how the job was done' leading up to the lighthouse
the danger of working like that, so close to the deep blue sea makes one think that they have to be extra careful with those big machines
(these shots were taken on monday along with the others)

sheer greed :lol: :lol: :lol:

thanks geeeyejo

when I put the url in this little square above *
(below here to show you. but you probably know what I mean without this)
* http://photography-on-the.net/forum/images/editor/insertimage.gif

I make a gap under the picture when it shows
and then put the pointy mouse in the space under the picture in that gap (mind the gap ) :lol:
and then go into preview to see all is ok

and do the same again.

if a picture is wider then another flick along to it's edge at the bottom of it
(the wider picture) and put the curser (pointy mouse thing):lol: under it
after you go to the very edge

if you hit something before doing that
the whole lot jumps

and so will you

with grrr :mad: :evil: :evil:

:lol: :lol: there probably are plenty other ways and means
(and I know one at least)
but this works best for me

and 'greedy' my inner photo friend.. (fiend) :shock:

Marie; I love this series of shots. I do love the B&W but all are wonderful. Having been involved in construction for many years, mainly road, site design and survey. I always like to see how its done in other countries.

#4 for me too. Great series Marie. Those guys are probably so good that they don't even worry about the water.

Nice series of shots. It's a very interesting looking buildingm that lighhouse (but then aren't they all). Also you can see how high the tide rises on the wall.
These types of shots are the ones that historians of the future will value the most, because they tell the story of when electricity was connected to the light (was it powered by a generator before?),and so are now linked with the history of the lighthouse :-) .

it's just the look of that heavy concrete in the machine's 'bucket'
so near the water ,
if it should topple
he had to keep turning it around. tricky enough.

I noticed the 'chief ' man (my word for him ) stayed close all the time

glad you like them , thanks Sandy
great that you know a lot about it all as it was really to show 'how it's going ' here


should be interesting to see it when it is finished.

I hope the new replaced ' ground ' blends in with the rest of the old stuff already there

it worked by sensor
as far as I know
the electricity connections are being updated..




Built: 1847 - Automated: 1955 http://www.dun-laoghaire.com/im/eastpier.gif This light is located at the end of the East Pier of Dun Laoghaire Harbour. It and the West Pier Light were built to guide into the harbour ships that were waiting to get into the Port of Dublin. When this light became a three-keeper station in 1949, the Principal Keeper moved into the dwelling of the unmanned West Pier Light, and the two assistants and their families lived in the dwellings at the base of this East Pier tower. The families moved out in March of 1955 when this light was automated.

Wow that lighthouse is quite old then. Thanks for the info.
