Lighthouse Bookmark

Here is a lighthouse bookmark pattern for you. I couldn't find any I liked, so I made up my own. Here is a lighthouse on Cape Disappointment in Washington, USA. Looks kinda like it. I need to make the blocks of black and white bigger.... Here is one in Venice Italy! (sigh....) Here is one in Duluth Point (one of many, many Great Lakes lighthouses... sigh again I wish I was back home...) Here is another black and white one, Grand Island Harbor Rear Range Light
