Took my niece and nephew to the fair in Winkler, and couldn't help but look for something to point my camera to (other than the kids).

Seal Rocks, NSW
Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse also known as Seal Rocks Lighthouse is an active light tower that has been operating since December 1875. It was built to stand guard over the rugged and pointy Seal Rocks and Sawtooth Rocks as these were unsuitable to build a lighthouse on. The elegant light tower is one of only two light towers in Australia with an external stairway, and has been automated by electricity since 1987.

Another from my trip up to Caithness last month. This was a very difficult shot due to the conditions as it was very very windy with strong gusts coming towards me and was basically having to hold the tripod down :-(

Ladle was too full, so some had to be dumped out. The steel that was dumped out will be remelted and used again.
Sheep farming is still practiced on West Point Island, just off the northwestern end of West Falkland Island,
Torry Battery has been a landmark for Aberdeen since 1860. On a promontory at the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour it has a history of coastal defence, emergency housing and a sanctuary for migratory birds. It replaced a series of earlier structures going back to 1514.
The Battery was built due to fear of invasion from the sea. It is a fort-like structure and was manned by a volunteer force - The 1st. Aberdeenshire Royal Garrison Artillery (Volunteers)...the forerunners of today's T.A.'s.
It was armed with 9 heavy guns.
The Battery was dismantled in 1895, but was still
used as a training ground. Smaller guns were installed again and the Battery was manned permanently during WW1.
Between the wars the barracks were used as temporary living accommodation due to an acute housing shortage.
During WW2 there were anti-aircraft guns and searchlights and again, after the war, the barracks became housing until 1953.
There is no record of piped water at the Battery, so we can assume the defence forces through the years relied solely on the well for clean water.
The remains are now a scheduled monument.

Cheers Ant for the heads-up about this spot, well worth many more visits I reckon!
We had some nice wispy clouds about today which was a relief after seeing only clear skies on the way down to Potter Point this morning. Turned out to be a really nice sunrise.
I've included Ant working his magic in this shot so you can appreciate the scale of this area.
Cheers
