Another sunrise shot from Beachmere....positioning sun behind one of the trees ....highlighting their intricate beauty
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,

Ballerinas have nothing on this bird! I can watch these Common yellow Leg Sandpipers for hours. I love their slender legs and long necks as they stride purposely in the low tide.
I think they look like dancers ... acrobatic and swift. When flying they extend their legs beyond their tails - gorgeous.
I think this is the 5th position, anyone??
Hoping all is well.
Pris en train de se gratter le cou avec sa patte droite d'où sa position inhabituelle.
Caught scratching his neck with his right paw hence his unusual position.
Unfortunately, I was not able to see this guy pupate. It happened in the wee hours of the morning when I was still snug in my bed. However, there is a beautiful Chrysalis hanging from this leaf now. I’ll post that picture tomorrow. Good luck on your transformation Monarch!

Crane positioned on a float barge
According to Wikipedia :
American Crane Corporation is an American manufacturer of construction cranes based in Wilmington, North Carolina. It manufacturers lattice boom crawler cranes with capacities ranging from 50 to 275 tons. The American Crane Corporation was founded in 1882 as the Franklin Manufacturing Company, and in 1892 the name changed to American Hoist & Derrick. The company manufacturers terrain cranes, crawler cranes and tower cranes. In 1998 American Crane Corporation was acquired by Terex for $27 million. The purchase of American Crane Corporation brought Terex a manufacturer of lattice boom cranes.
A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.
I would also, like to extend my thanks, to all those who place my images in their beautiful galleries, or use my images for their covers.
Additionally, I am truly humbled to receive so many thoughtful and generous testimonies. I cannot express how deeply touched and honoured I am, to find such caring and beautifully written words left on my behalf.
Hope you are enjoying your weekend

The following day I saw some movement not far from my position on the beach: there were 4 beautiful models filming a commercial for a local TV, I approached and kindly asked to take a photo (unfortunately taken against the sun so it does not show the beautiful faces of the models). Then I talked with them and invited all at dinner. Only Juliana accepted and here you see her beautiful face (photo on the right taken in the restaurant) We had no after-dinner and I never saw her again because the day after I had my flight to Rio and the year after, when I was back in Recife, they told me Juliana had been promoted and was working in São Paulo
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Il giorno dopo vedo del movimento a poca distanza dalla mia sdraio, erano 4 bellissime modelle che giravano uno spot pubblicitario per una TV locale, mi avvicinai e chiesi gentilmente di scattare una foto (purtroppo scattata contro sole non mostra i bellissimi visi delle modelle). Poi chiacchierai con loro e invitai tutte a cena. Solo Juliana accettò l'invito ed ecco il suo viso bellissimo nella foto a destra scattataci dal cameriere del ristorante. Non malignate, purtroppo non ci fu dopocena e non la vidi più perchè il giorno dopo avevo il volo per Rio e l'anno successivo, a Recife, mi dissero che era stata promossa e lavorava a San Paulo
