Love Lighthouses

Since I missed posting for PFF this week, I decided to show my lighthouse cards, which I really love each and every one of them. I think lighthouses are so fascinating. I hope to be able to visit some of them some day and climb all the stairs to get to the top.



Lighthouses of the Northsea in Belgium and the Netherlands. I received this great card from Gilles of Belgium.





This is a painting of a lighthouse and beach scene from Flora1 in Finland. I love this card, because I love the beach and seagulls and lighthouse. I love just walking along the beach feeling the sand between my toes and the water on my feet.




This is Nobska Lighthouse, Woods Hole, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It's perhaps the most picturesque lighthouse on Cape Cod. It was built in 1828 and rebuilt in 1876. More than 30 thousand vessels pass by here annually. I got this card in a Round Robin from Evanscrew.


These lighthouses are from Portugal. I received this great card in a tag from Joana122.


This is Oerskaer Lighthouse in the Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden. This is a tag card from MerJade.
