Lighthouses

Lovely build there. I wonder what it is about lighthouses that attracts so many?

Lighthouses are beautiful buildings.
Lighthouses are useful structures.
Lighthouses have a "soul".

Yesterday I got another 8 models of lighthouses.

From Wikipedia Swedish:
Lighthouses was once regarded as the prototype for the common benefit, as ships could navigate them without paying. Because of their function as a security system and a light diffuser has the lighthouse has become a symbol of safety, guidance, dissemination of knowledge (education) and hope, and bringer of light can also have religious overtones. Since the lighthouse is often placed alone in an exposed position, it has also come to symbolize solitude, strength, leadership and decision-making, but also man's struggle against nature. For sailors were obviously lighthouse extra charged as a symbol and example, a tattoo of a lighthouse with hometown name to give the sailor luck on your journey.

By the by, I'm tempted to mention the most famous urban legend: "I'm a lighthouse, your call".😊
