The Chaine Memorial Tower in Larne, Northern Ireland is like a giant stone pencil standing proudly at the edge of the Irish Sea. Built in 1888 to honor local businessman and politician James Chaine, this lighthouse memorial is a beloved landmark in the seaside landscape. Locals even call it "The Pencil" because of its cylindrical base and pointed top.

It's a great spot for dusk and dawn photos, and a must-visit for anyone exploring the Antrim coastline.
