Oxcars Lighthouse

This is in the Firth of Forth near Inchcolm, not far from Edinburgh.
It came into operation as a manned lighthouse early in 1886.
It became the first manned Northern Lighthouse Board lighthouse to be converted to automatic operation in 1894. 

I have horizontally blurred the sky and sea.
And of course, converted (most of it) to monochrome

THANK YOU ALL for your kind hearts, stars and comments on my seal-pup blip on Friday.  You have propelled it to the top of page 2 of Popular!  I think that is the highest I have been apart from blip-anniversary blips.
