Lighthouse: I have not 100% visual confirmation because the image is not good enough.  But if you see a red tower under the Tokio Gate Bridge, the chances are very high that the tower be the Tokio Gate East Breakwater.  And when a better image appears it is posible that we can confirm a second lighthouse on the stamp.  White circle with the West Breakwater.

UPDATED  April 2017

Thanks to Vladimir that send this image that confirms the 2 Breakwaters of the Tokio Gate Bridge. East and West.

DOUBTFUL - Solomon Islands

Code: SOL-2013-01
Date: March 29, 2013
Title: Paul Signac
Format: Minisheet of 4 stamps and Block with 1 stamp

Stamp N.4 of Minisheet

 

Continuing with the fever for the art of the doubtful releases of 2013,  now is the turn of Solomon Islands.  Between dozens of minisheets and blocks, we find 2 of them dedicated to Paul Signac. 

One of the painting is "Women at the well" and it depicts a stylized version of the Saint-Tropez Jetty Head Light. 

If you find this painting familiar, is because we saw this in another doubtful issue of Palau a few weeks ago.
