⚡ Something grey and serious over El Prat Boeing P-8 Poseidon Maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft No timetable, no booking site, no explanation. Tracking N/A [ae68a3] at 28000ft, 202.2kt. No radar, no subscription — just a Raspberry Pi and a good view #p8 #poseidon #boeing

The California coast by its lighthouses, each light on its real flash character. Alcatraz carried the first light lit on the US Pacific coast, in 1854; past the Golden Gate the Farallones warn ships off the rocks. Data: OpenSeaMap / OpenStreetMap + NOAA ENC

The whole Australian coast by its lighthouses, from the Barrier Reef to Tasmania to the remote WA shore, each light on its real flash character. Cape Leeuwin marks where two oceans meet; Maatsuyker Island, off Tasmania, is the southernmost. Data: OpenSeaMap / OpenStreetMap + NGA List of Lights

The southeast coast of Australia by its lighthouses: southern QLD, NSW and Victoria, each light on its real flash character. Cape Byron throws the longest beam; Sydney's Macquarie, lit 1818, was the country's first. Data: OpenSeaMap / OpenStreetMap + NGA List of Lights

Off the tip of Brittany, in the Iroise Sea, lighthouses stand miles out on bare rock in the open Atlantic. Keepers called them les enfers, the hells: stranded for weeks when the sea was too rough to land a boat. La Jument, Ar-Men, Kéréon. Data: OpenSeaMap, NGA, SHOM

Every charted navigational light on the coast of New Zealand, each on its own flashing character. From Cape Reinga down to Stewart Island and out east to the Chatham Islands, so near the dateline they meet the new day first. Light data: OpenSeaMap / OpenStreetMap and the NGA List of Lights.
