Lighthouses
« on: May 12, 2010, 09:18:43 PM »
Has anyone seen the pictures of the newly painted lighthouses on KTLN? Is it just me or does anyone else think they absolutely hideous? They stand out like a sore thumb. I hope someone realises and paints them white again!

You are right ..they are minging!!...They look like a pair of giant Zippo lighters!!...it's supposed to be colour coded for Port & Starboard......but what happens at night in the dark? yes they have a light on top but white is better surely? ::)
People Of Britain.. When your missus asks "Does my bum look big in this? Never say "Dunno your blocking the light."... just sayin ????

I don't know if I may have mentioned that we're getting married in Kalkan  ;)   :P   ;) !!!!  We we're going to have a few pics taken at the lighthouse - certainly won't be bothering now!
Currently have a duplex apartment in Kiziltas which we visit as often as we can.

It's probably something maritime as opposed to choice...indeed, it has to be. You wouldn't paint them those garish colours without a very good reason ;D

Or is it port and stilton?  And what about if you are approaching from the other direction?
