At the top of the lighthouse, I got to a certain stair and could go no further. Outside?? I don’t think so.

A close-up view of a black metal spiral staircase inside a structure, possibly a lighthouse. The steps are worn and textured with signs of rust and chipping paint. Green straps secure white cylindrical objects, likely life preservers, to the railing. Above the steps, a perforated metal platform with square holes supports several bundled cables and wires wrapped in white tape, leading upward through a black circular fitting. The surrounding walls are white with black trim, and the windows reveal a panoramic view of a coastal town with blue water, green land, and scattered buildings under a bright sky with soft clouds.A close-up view of the large Fresnel lens inside a lighthouse, seen from a low angle. The lens features multiple concentric glass panels with a golden hue, framed by a green metal structure that shows signs of weathering. The lens housing sits atop a sturdy green-painted metal base with rectangular vents and a grated opening. Behind the lens, the circular glass enclosure of the lighthouse is visible, with white metal support beams and a bright blue sky in the background.A small white metal door with a black frame and two silver hinges is secured by a silver latch with a brass padlock and has a silver handle below the latch. A circular emblem with a blue and gold design is displayed near the top center of the door. Above the door, a sign with red capital letters reads, “WOULD YOU PLEASE CLOSE THE OUTSIDE DOOR DURING INCLIMATE OR RAINY WEATHER PERIODS THANK YOU.” The surrounding wall is cream-coloured with a horizontal ridge running across it, and part of a circular brown object is visible on the right side.
