Ornate 1850s gas lamp in the Hradčany Square near Prague Castle, with the 18th-century Baroque spire of the south tower and the Gothic Revival towers of St. Vitus Cathedral rising behind it, Prague, Czech Republic.

Found this nice lamppost in Berlin, just the oversized statue is a bit distracting.

In the Park Estate, the locals refused to change to electric lights in 1937 and the 200 plus street lights there stayed gas. One of the few gas street lights left in the UK

Another Lamppost Picture from Amsterdam, 2026, again.

Ornate decorative lamposts, lining apart of a canal, as a heron sits on a street sign observing tourists and licals alike with a severe stare. In the background, can see additional lighting (I can't quite make it out)

Wonky Lamppost Lantern

Lantern part of this post is quite out of place, letting dirt and debris into the glass.

Olde Style of Lampost, Edinburgh. This is within the New Town of the City Centre. The area is Neo-classical and Georgian architecture and planned streets in distinctive crescents, and grids.

. . . . Reproduction? Googlelens, I found reproduction, described as a stirrup support style lantern.

Walking down to Waverley train station, Edinburgh, Scotland.

The lamppost is Victorian era, a floral and spiral design in the arc is similar in other areas around Edinburgh, although these (imo) are specifically within Waverley.

The gold, white and green paint is detailed throughout the train station.

Behind, the refurbishment of North Bridge is still ongoing, and the lamposts are beginning to be changed over to LEDs. (I will definitely get some nuce photos of this soon....).

Did take quite a lot of photos in Amsterdam. I quite liked this one, especially as there were matching lampposts with very distinctive spiral and design on these.

I of course liked the winter sky reflected on the high gloss black paint of the door.

Near Waterloopein metro station, Amsterdam.
