The Lighthouse of Alexandria

One of my pieces for the Array art book, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world: the Lighthouse of Alexandria. It was destroyed by earthquakes over a thousand years ago, but before it was destroyed it was the tallest man-made structure on earth. Back in the day it was called Pharos (not the lighthouse of Alexandria), which is probably why in French the word lighthouse is pronounced "pharos". Alexander the Great was kind of a maudite vache, pardon my french, but he did build some pretty cool stuff.
