What a fascinating article! I love lighthouses. I’m an amateur photographer and I’ve always wanted to take photos of lighthouses (I even went through a phase of wanting, more than anything, to live in one). Sadly, South Korea doesn’t have many iconic ones that are not surrounded by colour-changing LEDs and overly cute mascots, making them less than ideal subjects for the kind of images I’d like to produce.

I have another friend who is fascinated by lighthouses! Here in Ireland they are several historical ones that you can rent, mostly through the Irish Landmark Trust.

I'm also a bit of a shutterbug and a few months ago I returned to Flickr and I put up pictures there almost daily.
