世界各地寂寥壯闊燈塔攝影圖集

燈塔在我們的日常生活中，實在是談不上有什麼關聯更說不上有什麼淵源的一項地標。但在過去的年代，陸路依賴馬匹，水路則靠船隻，遠洋的人們返家時，即使是黑夜，仍不會弄錯歸途的方向，這一切有賴於燈塔-安全及指引方向的象徵。在電力尚未普及前，是在山頂上點燃火焰作為照明及方向引領，後來漸演變成燈塔。

而由於現代的導航裝置已經非常先進，人為操作的燈塔數量大大減少，全世界只剩下 1,500 個使用中的燈塔。即使許多燈塔已失去其實用性，但它們所蘊含的歷史及意義可供我們作為遺蹟來欣賞。在美國，8 月 7 日還是全國燈塔日呢!

獨自佇立在岸邊面對無盡汪洋的燈塔，帶有洗盡鉛華的滄桑感，實在是好有寂寥和壯闊的美感阿!如同過時的英雄或老去的將帥…以衰朽之軀暗自緬懷不復返的繁華。
