The hook as it is often called is a popular spot in South County Wexford. It was very windy when I was there and I could not get out onto rocks safely so stood well back and aimed for a break in the spray to get a shot.
The lighthouse is situated where the 3 sister rivers, Barrow, Nore and Suir flow into the sea so it was be choppy and windy.
In the living room of the house I was born in, there was a picture rail incorporated into the wall with brass hooks that hung over the top edge. I have eight of them, and find them invaluable for hooking over the top side edge of Billy bookcases, or on my door lintels, for hanging various things like wind chimes, dream catchers, etc. This one holds a pocket watch and is about two and a half inches in height.

Hook Lighthouse is a medieval lighthouse off the south coast of County Wexford. It is thought to be one of the oldest operational lighthouses in the world. When the lighthouse at Hook became fully automated in 1996, there was no longer any need for resident keepers. It was decided then to open it up to the public. The former keeper's houses now play host to the visitor centre.
The lighthouse was built in the 13th century and was a major feat of construction at that time. It has been helping sailors for roughly 800 years, apart from a short period in the 17th century when it closed.
It was William Marshal, the Earl of Pembrokeshire, who organised the building of the lighthouse. He wanted to offer his ships some navigational help as they made their way to Waterford Harbour.
A sign of old age.
These hooks are on the Hook and Loop (Velcro) straps that secure my Old Man trainers.
