The Cape Bowling Green lighthouse is located at the Australian National Maritime Museum, at Darling Harbour. It was originally built in 1874 at Cape Bowling Green, south of Townsville, Queensland. It was replaced in 1987 and then transported to the north wharf of the maritime museum in Sydney in 1994. Santa Claus keeps watch from the balcony during Santa Fest.
Looks like he is taking photos, perhaps he has a photo blog of his own?
ReplyDeleteI like your thinking. He's actually using a telescopic cylinder, which has bent down a little bit in the wind.
DeleteHo ho ho, this is a funny picture.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun holiday shot for the day, Jim!! Yes, maybe Santa does have a blog of his own!! Wishing you a very Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and funny photo, I've never seen Santa on a lighthouse :-)
ReplyDeleteI am sure that this is the first lighthouse that features Santa. Such a novel idea. And his red suit certainly stands out. Love the touches of red on the lighthouse round him.
ReplyDeleteWonderful addition to this already wonderful lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteI love it! Santa has so many jobs! :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha! LOVE the Santa ... but it seems an awfully long way to transport a lighthouse!!
ReplyDeleteI love light houses, especially when they are still working or at least operating as light house museums and residences.
ReplyDeleteThis one looks perfect as part of Darling Harbour's Maritime Museum.
hee hee...Poor Santa, all alone up there on the lighthouse by himself! :-)
ReplyDelete«Louis» likes lighthouses, so he's doubly glad you linked this to Sunday Bridges.
At least the lighthouse is part of a museum so Santa can keep his eye on things. It would have been very lonely for him if the lighthouse was on some remote outcrop.
ReplyDeletelovely looking lighthouse
ReplyDeletelovely photo and that they are colour coordinated is sweet.
ReplyDeleteGood thing Santa has a head for heights hey Jim :) fab fun shot!
ReplyDeleteThat is a gorgeous lighthouse!! I'm visiting my daughter and family in North Carolina where they abound. I love to see them! Happy SSS2 and 2014!
ReplyDeleteThis just gives me a great big smile.
ReplyDeleteThe lighthouse is beautiful.
