Bibi’s comment brought to mind a pre-electric telegraph system. They were an interesting plot device in The Count of Monte Cristo. In this case, however, we might call the trans-Atlantic lighthouses a kind of heliograph. They were quite useful but you had to point them in the right direction. I wonder what they would communicate. “Dude, this is so cool. Unlimited nighttime minutes for free!”
How do you know my friend Virginia??? It's a small world. That is the perfect shot for The Saturday PhotoHunt. I hope to see y'all next Saturday... Let's get LOUD! ♥ Sandi
Beautiful... somewhere in Portugal on the other side is probably a lighthouse, too! ;<)
ReplyDeleteA lighthouse, flag at half-mast...
ReplyDeleteMay it light up a certain songbird’s way, if she is so disposed.
