The Original light on Howth Head 1667 was replaced by a tower in 1790 and discontinued when the present structure was built at Baily 1814. The Baily Lighthouse was the last lighthouse in Ireland to be made automatic on March 3rd, 1997, it flashes white every twenty seconds.
I love this aerial view of The Baily and it was so enjoyable to paint.
