Description
A spectacular photgraphic journey from New Zealand’s most northern lighthouse at Cape Reinga to its most southern, on Dog Island in Foveaux Strait. This book shows not only the Lighthouses, but also the landscape around them, capturing the wild beauty of the coastline, the unpredictable weather and the wildlife in these, mostly isolated, areas. Sheehans photgraphs, showcase the iconic buildings and the sharp textural landscapes around them, captured in light conditions, that range from stormlight and moonlight to stunning nightscapes with star filled skies. The accompanying text gives a brief history of each lighthouse, of the events that (may) have taken place there, and, for those lighthouses still in operation, the appropriate technical details. Grant Sheehan also pays justifable tribute to to the keepers and their families.
‘Anythin’ for a quiet life, as the man said when he took the situation at the lighthouse’…. (Charles Dickens)
