Description

The Agii Theodori Lighthouse, also known as Faros lighthouse is found on the Lassi Peninsula. Constructed from doric styled columns it is named after the area it is sited and the church Ay.Theodori. Originally built and commissioned in 1829 by the then British governor Napier it was rebuilt to the original plans after an earthquake in 1875 destroyed it. I took this photo whilst on holiday in Kefallinia last year with Debz. We are always amazed at how blue the seas are abroad and this is a particularly unusual lighthouse and is still in operation. Many thanks for viewing and for any comments you may care to leave. Enjoy ... Tony :-)

Excellent holiday image, Tony. I bet back in the 1875 when they rebuilt it they were thinking - okay this will warn the ships of the presence of the rocks, but what shall we do to warn the lighthouse keeper of the next earthquake?

Most excellent capture, Tony. You have an eye for composition and detail. Yes, this is definitely ancient styling and is sited perfectly on the piece of land.
