A sailing boat passing the lighthouse near the mouth of Sydney bay. We spent a week in Sydney back in 1979 en route to Medan in Sumatra. Having said that I'm not sure which lighthouse this is. Any ideas? Thanks to Graham I now realise this is Hornby lighthouse and the pic was taken from the harbour cruise ship.

Well just offshore Dover harbour actually. En route for Dunkirk on the ferry. (Belated) HBM, HWW and HFF to everyone! Three for the price of one.

We had arrived early at the Holyhead ferry to Dublin so took the opportunity to drive on to South Stack. The lighthouse was built in 1809. The rocks are highly deformed meta-sediments of the Early Cambrian South Stack Group - part of the Mona Complex. The cliffsides were swarming with gulls making a hell of a noise and although there were also puffins about we only saw them on the RSPB livecam in the Ellins Tower centre off to the left of this shot.

A telephoto shot looking from Cap Gris-Nez across Wissant Bay northwards to Cap Blanc-Nez. Gris-Nez is the closest point in France to England. Blanc-Nez is an Upper Cretaceous Chalk outcrop (white). Note the piles of chalk on the beach to the left - evidence of the instability in the cliffs

The beautiful north coast of Cornwall at Bedruthan. HFF to everyone. Have a great weekend.

The beautiful little fishing village and harbour of Polperro on the south coast of Cornwall was once a smugglers paradise. HFF & have a great weekend.
