The Old Lighthouse





This is one of Haverigg's two lighthouses, both of which are defunct.  This is the newest of the two and was built around 1905 on the new sea wall.

In the early evening light it is quite atmospheric and it was an interesting point on my evening walk.  I like the detail in the first picture.

Escape to the country




Having said yesterday how much I love the city I have been cooped up all day in a windowless room, so I decided to post some pictures of the great outdoors. 

Seen here in the first picture is the sunset over Haverigg harbour, more of that later in the week or maybe next week.

The second shot is the view across the dales from Litton, towards Tideswell.

The final picture is of a sculpture on the seashore at Haverigg, it is there to commemorate lives lost, by those who died trying to save people in peril at sea. In Haverigg there is an independent inshore lifeboat and the volunteers who man the service deserve much credit, praise and respect.
