One and a half days into the furlough, and here's a brief update on my lighthouse hunt. I went to Akko and Haifa yesterday, and to Mikhmoret this morning. The first one was a snatch - the lighthouse is easily accessible, stands by itself, it was early in the morning, partly cloudy - excellent for photos. Haifa was a different story. The lighthouse tower is within a military compound, and pressed between other structures. The only decent angle was with the sun standing right behind it, which gave a black silhouette against a ball of fire. Even if I return there in the evening, I'm not sure I can get a good "postcard" view of it. Now the most curious so far - Mikhmoret. The lighthouse is a tiny little rotating device on top of a concrete structure probably used as the naval school's club. Obviously, the guard at the gate didn't want to let me into the school, so I had to go around it. Down the beach, behind the fence, and there I am against the so-called lighthouse. Some students and teachers were standing near the structure, but I put on my best "I'm okay you're okay" face and kept on snapping. Nobody said anything. Off the premises, and back to the beach. Next on the list - Jaffa and Ashdod. Maybe this afternoon.
