Nash Point Lighthouse was designed and built by
Joseph Nelson being completed in 1832 to mark the
hazardous sandbanks off Nash Point, overlooking
the Bristol Channel. This followed the wrecking of
the passenger steamer Frolic on these sands in 1831,
with a heavy loss of life.
Two circular towers were built, each with massive walls and
a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37
metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres
high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights
to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high
light was painted with black and white stripes and the low
light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed
light which was either red or white depending on the
direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector
marked the Nash Sands.
The low light was abandoned circa 1925 and the high
light was modernised and painted white. In place of the
fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed
which gave a white and red group flashing, this was
removed in the automation of the station and replaced
with a rotating optic. Nash Point Lighthouse was the last
manned lighthouse in Wales. It was automated in 1998
with the keepers leaving for the last time on the 5 August.
The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from the
Planning Centre at Trinity House in Harwich, Essex.

Alongside the Grinling Gibbons exhibition was one on John Nash: The Landscape of Love and Solace, featuring over 170 of his works. Also included were a number of works by John’s older brother Paul (1889-1946). I’m afraid I find it very easy to confuse the two, partly because both served in the Artists’ Rifles in World War I, both became official war artists and both also served as war artists in WWII. Not surprisingly, their work created in the trenches covered the same subject, and both suffered what would now be considered PTSD, but I also think their styles were also similar. Both were invited to illustrate the very popular Shell Guides to the English counties, Paul doing Dorset while John tackled Buckinghamshire. Although John had no formal artistic training, his love of plants and nature led him to produce landscapes and he held a joint exhibition with Paul at the Dorien Leigh Gallery, in London in 1913 which was very successful.
Initially, John Nash's health prevented him from enlisting at the outbreak of the First World War but from November 1916 to January 1918 he served in the Artists’ Rifles, the same unit that his brother had joined in 1914. He served as a sergeant at the Battle of Passchendaele and at the battle of Cambrai. Of the 80 men in his company who were at Cambrai that day, 68 were killed or wounded in the first few minutes. Nash was one of just 12 who survived. On the recommendation of his brother, Paul worked as an official war artist from 1918.
This watercolour, Farm on a Hillside, painted in 1914, shows a peaceful countryside scene just as it was about to be radically changed.
My Sister in her 1959 Nash Metropolitan. The Metro was built in England and assembled in the states. Of course being built in the UK, the car was equipped with Lucas wiring and brakes.
The joke goes: "Lucas company motto: 'Get Home Before Dark !' "
This car definitely lived up to the motto !
Taken at Balanced Rock, Arches National Park ( how it ever made it back down the Arches entrance road without losing the brakes, I'll never know ! )

Nash Point has been a bit of a Nemesis for me, I've been several times and the conditions just haven't been favourable. I really need to make the effort to visit again.
Although the sunset wasn't great, I do quite like the atmosphere a moody black and white image creates and I think it works well in this case!

Frazer Nash is a British sports car manufacturer and engineering company founded by Archibald Frazer-Nash in 1922. It produced sports cars incorporating a unique multi-chain transmission before the Second World War and also imported BMW cars to the UK. After the war it continued producing sports cars with conventional transmission until 1957. It also continued selling BMW cars and motorcycles and finally in 1956 became the official importer of Porsche cars.
The cliffs of Nash Point are really nice at any angle, but in this case I pointed to the sky as the clouds started to move in from the coast.

Chegou hoje a nova wig do Nash! *-*
Logo que cheguei do estágio, dei de cara com o "Saiu para Entrega" no meu rastreio, e foi só esperar um pouco, que o carteiro tocou o interfone...
Ele ficou MUITO diferente assim, eu mal consigo acostumar, Hahahaha
E como ele parece um novo Tae, eu fico procurando ângulo que favorece ele, porque desacostumei já... Mas no fim das contas, eu gostei! Eu, Nina, Yuna, Amy, todo mundo tá achando ele mais moderninho! :B
E vocês? Que acham?
