Not sure where withstanding the test of time comes into it but there are some really cool photos in there. That one with the aurora borealis is very similar to a photoset i'm using as my desktop background at the moment.

Cool photos. I've been to that last one (Argentina), and number eight - South Stack on Anglesey, lots of steps but worth the climb.

would love to know how they build these in the places you'd struggle getting supplies to.

Superb pictures, it's amazing how these things were built in the first place, I mean it's not like they can hold the weather back or anything!

What amazed me was finding out how small the light-bulbs are. I thought they had these huge mega-torches spinning round, but the one I went in had a teeny bulb and the rest of the work was done with mirrors and reflectors.

The first one, you wouldn't want to leave a window open.

This one is more my cup of tea, no risk of drowning!

Makes mine look a bit tame by comparison - my photograpy skills are clearly below par also.

Lighthouse was built around 1640.
