I always think of taking LSD, and sitting at the top of a lighthouse like this at night in a terrible storm.

As man we dominate over every living thing, Insect, animal and man, but only one thing that dominates all of that and that's mother nature nothing more powerful then that.

Que bom que alguém teve essa iniciativa ,imagens perfeitas

Agree! I went looking on YT for that answer. The earliest was wooden & was destroyed in a huge storm with the designer in it. So the next design was like a corkscrew, more sturdy. Interesting info will come back with the link.

AL K OMG! Same!

They're built out of large granite blocks shaped like jigsaw puzzle pieces. The blocks are connected together like a puzzle and cannot be undone. The mortar used is special, as it hardens when wet.

Weight alone keeps them in place, just like the rocks they're built upon

Kat Kenobi I hear you. It's amazing there all still standing.

Kirsten Richards A dramatisation of the building of the Bell Rock Lighthouse in Scotland is available to watch. Unfortunately, I've only found some annoying footage of the drama which has been cut up and narrated over. The original drama is part of "Seven Wonders of the Industrial World' series. Here's the bastardised version. Why they've done this, I don't know. Completely unnecessary and takes a lot away from the impact the building of the Bell Rock lighthouse had on people's lives. /watch?v=1kG3D1tjgqY

+Sue Mead I've seen the original - its great. Perhaps they edited it so it didn't get banned.

I agree.

+DRTMaverick 24 hrs is just enough.

DRTMaverick yup

DRTMaverick .....me too. But just one night would be good. And I'll need WIFI and pizza. Thank you.

I’d love it, I think?. Be an experience anyway

it is

@@dwikx French lighthouse keepers nickamed the Ar Men lighhouse The Hell of Hellls". . It was hell to build it and it was hell to live in. Look for Ar Men in the French Wikipedia (not in the English one) and copy paste the text iin Google translator

Me too~~~

Always wondered this too

Considering the fact that they were deliberately built on storm-laden seas more than a hundred years ago, well... you get the idea.

shananagans5 stephensons bell rock is two hundred plus years old

I suspect that the sound of the storm was also added.

this goes out to Gtrick64 I was thinking the very same thing with such a rugged terrain it is not even a flat surface to get all the building material out there I am a brick mason by trade so now you have to build a foundation or the rock itself could be there you have to get all the mortar the brick this carefully and so forth and does anybody know what year this particular Lighthouse was built and one more thing I always thought that the lighthouses

+John Tuttobene I always thought that they were built closer to shore but after further review of the video you would almost have to go out that far because of the terrain if you build it closer to shore you would defeat the purpose of it because of the jagged rock out further into the ocean but I do have to say this was a very mesmerizing video to say the least I do have to say another thing that the craftsmanship of earlier times is way more creative then the buildings and structures of today I mean just to off the top of my head shame that I work on Bridges would have to be the Brooklyn in the Golden Gate bridges we're definitely way ahead of their time to say the least

+John Tuttobene and one more thing would it be safe touche that this storm was equivalent 2 the Nor'easter storm that was portrayed in the movie call The Perfect Storm where three different types of weather patterns collided to make a super storm would it be safe to say that this is the same type of storm

You said it for me.

right?!?!? plus how are they still standing?

With difficulty! Seriously, they had a construction crew working on the site, often living on a temporary structure or boat and they worked in the few weeks of calm weather in the summer. When the autumn storms came they left and didn't come back until the following year. So it could be a long process before the lighthouse was finished and ready to be manned.

In that kind of weather and seas, they must take the clothes outside to let them wash and hang them inside to dry!

The video or your spelling?

lol, the video. Excellent video.

zoom lens from ISS

this is the lighthouse called "Tevenec" off the coast of Brittany ....no longer manned and reputed to be haunted.....marty

Invade or liberate?
