BONUS picture:Click here to see a self-portrait of me at the top of the Punta Celarain lighthouse. The photo gives an excellent view of the original 3-1/2 order Fresnel lens, which is still in use (these days, it has a 1,000 Watt incandescent lightbulb inside, rather than an oil flame). Look at the reflections in the lenses of my sunglasses... the view of the coastline from way up there was superb!
