I thought the trail through the grain field to the lighthouse looked pretty good and I liked the shadows here. Very muddy path though as it had rained pretty hard the night before.

Pigeon Point lighthouse is one of the tallest lighthouses in America and the tallest on the west coast. It stands 115 feet and perched on a 35-foot cliff in Pescadero, California. It was built in 1871 and still an active US Coast Guard aid.
Wish you all a magnific and happy weekend :))**
CABO ESPICHEL (lit. Cape Espichel) is a cape located near Sesimbra, Portugal. Tourists are drawn there due to breathtaking views of its cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The location is famous for the a sanctuary complex (lit. Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel), built extremely close to the edge of the tall cliffs, and still in use after more than 700 years.
Also famous, are the several dinosaur fossil trackways exposed in some of the now tilted Jurassic strata which form the cape's cliffs. It is said that local superstition interpreted the trackways as the path taken by the saint when riding a giant mule from the ocean and up the cliffs, which led to the eventual construction of the convent at that location.
The lighthouse was looking mighty fine in the early morning sun so I had to take a few shots of it.

A prominent landmark on the Yorkshire Coast, Costing £8000 to build it was first lit on the first December 1806, It is now a grade 11 listed building,
Desaturated the blue sky and brought out the dark tones of the clouds. The grass was a vibrant green, so I desaturated that as well.
Liked the fence that leads into the buildings.
Shot this photograph of St Mary's Lighthouse on Sunday the 20th of March. What was interesting when shooting was the black guys in the water on the causeway making a music video. That water had to be freezing.
A Walton lighthouse was built in 1873 and still marks its presence along the coastline. The Walton Lighthouse aided ships into the port of Walton for many years until the shipping industry declined in the 1970s and now the lighthouse is a heritage landmark of Nova Scotia.

There were 4 lighthouses built on Wicklow head. Three of them are still standing. The first two were built in 1781. In 1810 the roof blew off one of them and it was replaced 30 years later. It is now used as a holiday home and you can stay in your very own lighthouse. The second one was demolished and replaced with this one and the one further down the cliff { see photos 5th,7th and 8th photo back in my stream and album below } and which is still operational, were both built in 1866.
Its said that the first pair couldnt be seen in a fog as they were in the wrong position but it has more likely to do with the lights themselves which used tallow made from beef and mutton fat, and were not bright enough.
Here is a nice piece from the B.B.C. series "Coast" which gives some interesting info on the area and also Bray head with its unique walk and railway,

Erected in 1870, this lighthouse stands on Cape Blanco, Oregon’s farthest west point of land. The Cape Blanco Light Station was put into service in1870, then automated in 1980.
It is one of the few lighthouses that you can climb and see the original lens, which is still operating. See the lens and staircase in the previous two images.
Have a great start to the new week ahead. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
