Southerness Lighthouse

[Black Pearl]

Teatime, it had been dull for most of the day but just as we were heading back to settle in for the night there was a flash of colour in the sky.

A dash down the beach gave me a chance to grab this shot.

And a fine one it is too, Robin.

I've got a couple of lighthouse images I need to process. Thank you for the reminder!

[FootLoose]

Good perspective, Robin, the lighthouse looks really imposing.

[Shadowman]

Nice grab.

A very successful dash it was indeed.
Very nice image.

[Rita]

That was a dash that paid off. A lovely image.

Good exposure on the lighthouse Robin considering the lighting. I think the rocks to the left help emphasize the the obstruction aspect and need for lighthouses.

[pnodrog]

Caught in lovely lighting. Well worth the dash.

[ST1]

Nicely done Robin, that's some dash from Whitburn though

[IzzieK]

That might have been a quick dash well worth it -- I love the strength of the lighthouse against the elements surrounding it...and the lighting is excellent...just right for the shot.

[Black Pearl]

Thanks for the comments.

Peter we have been staying at Southerness for a few days - in the rain mostly - so my dash wasn't quite as extreme as you might think

Nice image Robin. Lovely light. Kippford, just along the coast is a place we know but I hadn't realised that there was a lighthouse in the area.

Very nice image

[Ziggy]

Very nice, looks like a very old lighthouse.

Is it a working lighthouse?

[MarieV]

Nicely captured..

It is the second oldest lighthouse in Scotland - commissioned in 1748 but went out of service in 1936.

Nice shot, Robin. I like the the colours. Well done. Cheers,
