I was flying into Dublin on Sunday night and on the final approach I noticed a lighthouse and it got me thinking. Has anyone taken a picture early evening/night where you get the full effect/intensity the light from the lighthouse?

Any pics would be good and also any advice/comments as to how you achieved the effect.

thats a good idea! unfortunatly the lighthouse on the pier seems to be using an old 60w bulb and as such, its illumination power is far from useful, but i shall give it a thought hmmm.
