The drawing is hand-edited, not to scale, but based on reference drawings of the 2nd lighthouse, and pictures of the rock base, with a handrail darkened for effect.

Most images of the lighthouse are under copyright, so this is a new drawing, released public domain, in GIF format. The gray sky around the lighthouse can be changed to other colors by downloading the file, using an editor with color-fill, and clicking on a gray section of sky to change the entire sky, filled with another selected color (but leaving clouds unchanged).
