On my last travel to the beautiful country of South Africa, I managed to take this shot of a historic site, the Slangkop Point lighthouse in *Kommetjie. Having quite a history dating back over a century ago. The Slangkop Point lighthouse became fully automated in 1979, but is still one of the few lighthouses in the world to be manned by a light-keeper known these days as a 'lighthouse officer'Samfotoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11388919941457381534noreply@blogger.com0Kommetjie, Cape Town, South Africa-34.1403117 18.329195099999993-34.245466199999996 18.167833599999991 -34.0351572 18.490556599999994tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254731124945293962.post-2380950838149171912014-09-01T20:09:00.000-04:002014-08-24T22:55:30.780-04:00Architectural DesignsOne of the most impressive pieces of architecture I believe, are giant columns.
