By: Paige Taylor | 2010-12-21 | Exotic locations

Until 1822, a Frenchman called Augustin Fesnel invented the first modern lighthouse lens using prisms while the early light could be invisible in a few miles. The lens by Fesnel could light up in both parallel rays and horizontally. Since then, Fresnel lenses have brought dramatically changes in all lighthouses. Nowadays, lighthouses are seen not only the simple beacons for ships and boats, but they become artwork or stunning sculptures in real life.
