L for Lighthouse Jonny Hannah Today is International Lighthouse Weekend, so here’s a post from The Captain’s Alphabet, illustrated by the @darktownresident and published by @designfortoday There’s something compelling about lighthouses. I remember reading that an advert for a lighthouse keeper attracted over 5,000 applications, so I’m obviously not alone. There’s probably a medical term for it, let alone its own # #lighthouse #jonnyhannah #lighthousesofinstagram #captainsalphabet #nautical
