| 1996: Lighthouses (Artist - David Swinton) |
(20) The lighthouse on the Langness peninsula is automated on this, the most south easterly peninsula of the island; the cottages are now holiday lets. (30) Chicken Rock Lighthouse, where stormy weather once meant that lighthouse keepers were cut off from their Christmas Dinner, no turkey for them in 1960 and indeed no relief boat until the New Year (41) Douglas Head Lighthouse, another one designed by Robert Stevenson.
The Great Lighthouse Extravaganza a tour by enthusiasts of some of the Isle of Man's lighthouses, including Chicken Rock with views from all angles.

The first one has the same mood as Lisa's stamp.
Chicken Rock looks particularly precariously situated.
I have just realised that I have very few stamps from the Isle of Man, and any lighthouse.
Thanks for the link :)
Woah! so many lighthouses!!!! all beautiful!
I like the 42 best, it looks like an oil painting. I have only one Isle of Man, a Border collie!
Oh, wow, the dramatic skies on this set of stamps are incredible. The 24p is my favorite.
