The Lighthouse Effect


I love lighthouses. I love how they stand out from everything around, and how at night they are visible from miles away.
I looked up some lighthouse symbolism, and most of what I pulled said lighthouses symbolise safety. Well, that's kind of obvious isn't it? I thought I'd find something more subtle and mysterious. Somehow when I look at a lighthouse or a picture of one, it conveys not only strength and reassurance, but also a sense of loneliness, and at a more subtle level, the unmistakeability of loneliness.
Well, I have a remedy for that....
Lighthouse lovers of the world, unite.
