Road up to Sayh, Musandam, Oman. It was a magnificently arid landscape, with range after range visible above the deep wadi.

I'm so very pleased with this one! A panorama made up of 8 images, this is the Milky Way core rising gracefully into the sky. Within the core, you can see the Southern Cross constellation, and that bright star to the left of the core is Jupiter.

Beachy Head Lighthouse, Eastbourne, East Sussex, 1902.
By Sir Thomas Matthews (1849-1930), engineer-in-chief for Trinity House.
Grade ll listed.
THIS LIGHTHOUSE WAS ERECTED BY THE CORPORATION OF TRINITY HOUSE IN THE YEAR 1902. REAR ADMIRAL HRH THE PRINCE OF WALES KC, MASTER CAPTAIN SIR GEORGE RAWLINSON VYVYAN KCMG, DEPUTY MASTER, T MATTHEWS, ENGINEER-IN-CHIEF. A HAVELOCK CASE RESIDENT ENGINEER.
Beachy Head was historically notorious for its dangerous currents; a shelf of hard rock with jagged projections between Birling Gap and Eastbourne was, and still is, a maritime danger. Although the first official record of a petition for a navigation light near Beachy Head appeared in 1691 in the Parliamentary Papers of the Lords of the Privy Council for Trade and the Corporation of Trinity House of Deptford Strond were requested to investigate the need for a light, nothing was done officially until much later.
In 1825, Trinity House instructed their consultant engineer James Walker and his partner John Burges to produce a lighthouse for Beachy Head. They reported that the ideal location was at Belle Tout, on the top of the cliffs, and the lighthouse was built in 1828. Unfortunately the Belle Tout lighthouse was built on a major geological fault and, after a series of landslides in the later C19 and a number of shipwrecks caused by the light proving very susceptible to being obscured by fog, it became necessary to build a new lighthouse. Experiments showed that a light nearer the surface of the water, reflected against the chalk cliffs, provided a better light than at the top of the cliffs. It was therefore decided to build the new lighthouse out from the base of the cliffs on the foreshore below the high water mark. Trinity House abandoned Belle Tout in 1899 and, until the new lighthouse was built in 1902, positioned a light-vessel off Beachy Head with its own fog siren apparatus.
Sir Thomas Matthews, engineer-in-chief for Trinity House, designed the new Beachy Head lighthouse and specified that it was to be built about one and a quarter miles to the east of the Belle Tout lighthouse and approximately 700 feet out from the base of the chalk cliff. Albert Havelock Case was appointed as its resident engineer. Because of the height of the cliffs and the tides a cable way was set up on the top of the cliff to provide an uninterrupted delivery of equipment and materials down to the site. A coffer dam was erected to facilitate building the foundations of the tower and a concrete base laid over the excavated chalk foundation. The tower was constructed of 3,660 tons of Cornish granite from the De Lank quarries near Bodmin, Cornwall, shaped on site, each one weighing between one to two tons. The blocks were sent by rail to Eastbourne Station, were unloaded onto trailers to the cliff top and from there loaded by crane onto the cable way. The lighthouse was designed with an 1800-gallon water tank and coal store in the deep plinth, a room at entrance level with the sole WC, and, in ascending order, an oil room, crane room to haul up provisions, store room for provisions, living room with cast iron range, bedroom, service room and finally the lantern. Following two years of construction Beachy Head Lighthouse was lit for the first time on 2 October 1902. The three keepers kept four watches every 24 hours and were kept busy winding the clock, lighting the lamp and pumping up the oil.
About 1921 the light source was modernised, in 1974 the lighthouse was converted from oil to electricity and in June 1982 Beachy Head Lighthouse ceased to be manned and became automatically operated by remote control from North Foreland Lighthouse

the epic battle of monster tree v. ice.
pretty cool veiw during the first hours of the day.
pretty much, all of my windows on the front and the back of the house
have these prison bars of ice on the outside.
the sides, none, due to a lack of eaves.
now, if only the ice were dripping from the tree -- that would be pretty badass.

While we did pass people on the trail, since we were here within the month after Hawaii opened up their borders to tourists, wearing a mask for me was optional especially when making the ascent.
