Cape du Couedic Lighthouse - a photo on Flickriver

            This is Cape du Couedic Lighthouse in Flinders Chase National Park in Kangaroo Island. The image belies the very very strong and cold winds blowing off the Great Southern Ocean. 

The lighthouse which was constructed between 1906–1909, consists of a tower built from 2,000 pieces of local stone, together with three four-roomed cottages to house the head keeper and two assistants with their families. The light characteristic shows two flashes every ten seconds.

For many of its early years the site was inaccessible by land. Stores, materials and equipment brought by boat were hauled up to the lighthouse by a flying fox winching system originally powered by a pair of horses.

The cottaages are now available as accommodation for tourists.

Had some fun editing this shot as the Lighthouse was not built truly perpendicular. So you can have either a squint lighthouse on a horizontal horizon or a dead upright lighthouse on a sloping sea.
