Low Head Lighthouse
In the previous photograph I showed you the moment when the light from our sun is getting near to crossing our horizon and bringing its warming rays to bear on the landscape. It needed to since it was freezing out here under the cloudless starry sky.
Here we have turned around 180 degrees from where the previous shot was taken and can see the old lighthouse in all its glory. Lights blazing still. No problems with focus this time, but my hands are still numb.
As this series unfolds over coming days I'll give you more information about the Low Head Lighthouse. For the moment though it is suffice to say that this is the third lighthouse built in Australia (and the second in Tasmania), and a light has been running continuously here since 1833. The current tower, however, dates from 1888.
