Lonely Sentinels

LONELY SENTINELS is a collection of twelve dramatic lighthouse images
Lonely Sentinels is a database of 12 dramatic lighthouse photos. The lighthouses in this collection are from Washington, Oregon and British Columbia. Washington lighthouses include: New Dungeness, Alki Point, Point Wilson, Point No Point and the Gig Harbor Entrance. British Columbia lights include Nootka and Sisters Islets. Last, but certainly not least, Oregon lighthouses include Heceta Head, Umpqua, Yaquina Head, Yaquina Bay and Cape Meares.

The lighthouse collection supports 1600x1024 resolutions. I was fortunate enough to acquire a Silicon Graphics 1600SW monitor that supports 1600x1024 resolution. I understand that the Apple Cinema Display also supports 1600x1024. The 1600x1024 format more closely corresponds to a 35mm negative/slide and I think you will be pleased with how the images display on these large monitors.

You have a variety of ways to get our lighthouse images. To use the images as wallpapers, you can either download/view individual images by clicking on the hyperlinks to the right, or you can download a self-extracting zip file that contains three selected images from the collection. The self-extracting zip files include 1024x768, 800x600 and 640x480 resolutions of each image. If you're not sure how to install a desktop wallpaper, try reading our simple installation instructions.
