Night Watchman

En-route from Somerset to home we caught a beautiful Winter sunset at one of my all time favourite landmarks-the Low Lighthouse, at Burnham on Sea, built in 1832. This was my passing shot before leaving, and it was quite dark by then so that the wooden lighthouse was totally silhouetted against the sky. I'll post a less dark image sometime!

 

It gave the chance to test drive my new lens. Zeiss Milvus 21mm and Manfrotto geared head 405. Pleased with both so far.

 

Burnham is close the Bristol Channel, which has the second highest tidal range in the world of 15 metres (49 ft), second only to Bay of Fundy in Eastern Canada. The constantly shifting sands have always been a significant risk to shipping in the area.
