Pilots cottages on Llanddwyn. The pilots also manned the lifeboat station which was later run by the RNLI. A small light was established in 1823 by the Caernarfon Harbour Trustees as a navigational aid for entering the Menai Straits and Caernarfon harbour.

Tu color es el color del agua,
oh cuerpo del lenguaje
allà donde el agua es
levadura, rayo o fuego.
El agua se enciende y se convierte en rayo, se convierte
en levadura y en fuego,
en nenúfar
que pide mi almohada
para dormir...
Oh rÃo del lenguaje,
viaja conmigo dos dÃas, dos semanas por la levadura de los secretos,
recogeremos mares, descubriremos madreperlas,
lloveremos rubÃes y ébano,
aprenderemos que la magia
es un hada negra
que no se enamora más que de el mar.
Viaja conmigo, aparece aquÃ... desaparece allÃ...
y pregunta conmigo, oh rÃo del lenguaje,
por la concha que muere para convertirse
en nube roja
de lluvia,
en isla
que camina o vuela,
pregunta conmigo, oh rÃo del lenguaje,
por una estrella cautiva
en las redes del agua
que lleva entre sus pechos
mis últimos dÃas.
Pregunta conmigo, oh rÃo del lenguaje,
por una piedra de la que brota el agua,
por una ola de la que nace la roca,
por el animal del almizcle, por una paloma de luz.
Desciende conmigo por el tragaluz de las tinieblas
al lugar
donde habita el tiempo roto
para que el lenguaje sea
un poema que se viste con el rostro del mar.

These aircraft were used to deliver and collect secret agents into France during WW2. The bravery of the pilots, landing in the dead of night, in a field lit only by a few torches, is something I can't even begin to understand. Every landing could have been an ambush. The courage of the people they were transporting is on another level - beyond my comprehension. It throws our day-to-day travails into sharp perspective.
The Matterhorn of the West.
As pointy as they get.
"Pilot Peak is a striking pinnacle in the immediate northeast of Yellowstone National Park. It is part of the volcanic Absaroka Range which forms the massive eastern escarpment of Yellowstone Plateau. It's sharp point made it an unforgettable landmark.
Pilot Peak proved invaluable to pioneers of the Greater Yellowstone region since they, along with the nearby Tetons, mark the boundaries of the steaming plateau known as Colter's Hell. The Washburn expedition in 1870, credited with 'discovering' Yellowstone Park, used Pilot Peak to guide them to the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the incredible Geyser Basins beyond."
Thanks for taking a look!
May your week be wonderful!
The row of four small cottages on Llanddwyn Island was built for the pilots who helped boats navigate into the ports along the Menai Strait. This narrow channel dividing Anglesey from the Welsh mainland posed a threat of grounding on sand banks to the boats calling mainly at the ports of Caernarfon, Y Felinheli and Bangor to collect the fine roofing slate produced in the hills of North Wales. As well as guiding commercial shipping, the pilots crewed the Llanddwyn lifeboat until its wathdrawal from service in 1903.

His work almost done and about to leave us for good. I like the effects of the lights on the water behind

On Llanddwyn Island. Anglesey.
The pilots resided here and met sailing ships that were heading up the Menai Straits.
Great in the Summer, but a nightmare in the Winter months I would have thought if you personally know the Menai Straits.
Nice storm brewing over our rented cottage in the far distance...good move coming here l'd say. :-)

What an adventurous way to get to work! A harbor pilot is working his way around the deck of a pilot boat to, literally, jump onboard this cruise ship. The harbor pilot can assist the captain in bringing the ship to and from port, or they could take control of the ship and bring it in and out of port on their own.
I totally messed up on this one! With a very quick grab of my camera, I just didn't think to check my shutter speed, as it was a little too slow for action like this!
