It's a grey and grim Thursday with threats of rain - perfect for taking an exam!  Wish me luck everybody.

Good luck, Lou. I am sure you'll do fine!

DING DING DING!    No more callers, we have a winner!


But did you member the song or Google the lyrics?     

I love 80's music.   

I love 80s music, too. I remembered the song which gave away the airport. When I first looked at the picture I thought it was "the terminal of the future" at O'Hare, but obviously, it wasn't.

Let's play David's game...



What is the name of this lighthouse?

Where is it located?

Why is it significant?

Bonus points: what order is its Fresnel lens?

HINT: I have visited this lighthouse in person.

".....And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner"

Starfleet Headquarters??

"One Night in Bangkok" from the musical, Chess.

Love that song! Especially the line, "I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine." 

[louisev]

well that's more like it!  I am back in Wiltshire today where it is a grey grey grey grey day.  Did I mention it's a grey day?

Lindesnes in Norway.      Built in 1916 with a First order lens.     

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

There has been a lighthouse at this spot since 1656. It is the southernmost tip of Norway.
