Lighthouse: Up in the center, the Lighthouse of Santa Ana Hill, in Guayaquil (Ecuador).  This is not a real lighthouse, but I post it anyway as a lighthouse stamp, in recognition  to them that choose the figure of a lighthouse to design monuments.

Here it is a better look...

 

Thanks to John from Ecuador for
this Post Card

...and this is another product from "Correos del Ecuador" with this lighthouse.  It´s a postal stationery from November of 2012.

And this is another example of lighthouses that are not lighthouses.
