Nobska Lighthouse, U.S.A.
There are many weeks that I find myself on the brink of giving up on this whole weekly lighthouse post thing , but the moment I look at a new lighthouse photo, I fall in love all over again. This week's beauty is located near the City of Falmouth, Massachusetts: PC: Ed King PC: Enzo Figueres (left), Roupen Baker (right) PC: Alexey Sergeev
Maiden's Tower, Turkey
A Seriously Old Lighthouse Technically, the Maiden's Tower (aka Kiz Kulesi) is actually just a tower that, for a time, was used as a lighthouse, but still...

That, by my standards, is ridiculously old. Apparently, the tower served many purposes throughout the past 25 centuries.

What I'd like to do today, is to pause at 22:25-27 for a few minutes, if I may. [" 25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27 for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, ther...
