Light on a Hill
Lighthouses have always been beacons of hope. They may be superfluous in this age of GPS, but they will always remain a powerful symbol.
The Low Head Lighthouse on the east side of the entrance to the Tamar River, was built in 1833. It is the third lighthouse constructed in Australia, and is also the oldest continuous pilot station. It was built with convict labour and is a thing of beauty.
As the sun set last Saturday evening, I took this photograph from Greens Beach. We are looking across the mouth of the Tamar. The light is on and there's a lovely little reflection on the wet sand in front of me. The sea is calm and the sky is captivating.
