1. Title: Bishop Rock Lighthouse - Helicopter Pad atop: A Modern Maritime Marvel in the Scilly Isles 2. Description: This image showcases Bishop Rock Lighthouse, a historical beacon of safety and guidance, proudly perched atop a craggy outcrop in the turbulent waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The Scilly Isles, located off the southwestern tip of Cornwall, England, have long been a source of fascination for mariners and visitors alike due to their unique beauty and rich maritime history. At the heart of this scene lies the iconic Bishop Rock Lighthouse, a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. Constructed in 1858, the lighthouse stands 15 meters (50 feet) tall and is renowned for being the oldest operational lighthouse with a helicopter landing pad. The pad, situated at the very top of the tower, is a remarkable innovation that allows for essential maintenance and supplies to be transported to the lighthouse keepers, even in the harshest of weather conditions. The helicopter pad's presence adds an intriguing layer of modernity to this historic structure, which has stood the test of time for over a century and a half. The helicopter, a sleek and powerful machine, appears as a small speck against the dramatic backdrop of the stormy sea and the rugged cliffs of Bishop Rock. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Andrew Besley, offers a unique perspective of the Bishop Rock Lighthouse and the Scilly Isles, inviting us to ponder the intersection of history, innovation, and the relentless power of the sea.
