Thank you for clarifying this, Mary.
Mary MacADNski: It is important to acknowledge these things.
Ahhh...this is not a winter scene! So peaceful!
Mary MacADNski: No snow or ice shots here this week.
Not a windmill either Mary.
Mary MacADNski: I am acknowledging now ice and snow this week - wishing it away.

well, certainly a tip of something. smile
Less water would work better, don't you think?
Mary MacADNski: I think that would change the look of the water very much.
Oh My God, I would Looooooooove to live there, nice and remote, no awful people around, brilliant!!!
Mary MacADNski: Sounds like your dream.

Is this a coastguard lookout building Mary?
Mary MacADNski: It would be automated. I don't think people live in any anymore in an official manner.

That is some deserted place to live
Mary MacADNski: Just a little point of land. A neighbour just at the end of the road perhaps.
Keeping this lighthouse must be a lonely occupation, but perhaps its good for concentrated bouts of work. Wonderful picture of space and loneliness.
Mary MacADNski: There are no officially manned lighthouses here. They are all automated. Some are giftshops or tourist things.

For me this sums up yhe area really well Mary.
Mary MacADNski: In what way, may I ask?
A beautiful scene looks very peaceful.
Mary MacADNski: Summer is what I see. I am trying to wish away the snow.
Blues, greens and no whites anywhere. Just the ticket
Mary MacADNski: No snow and summer vegetation.
But it is a very interetsing shaped lighthouse isn't it. Is that an island or a peninsula it is on?
Mary MacADNski: It is a little peninsula.
Can you walk round to the lighthouse or is a little island smile
Mary MacADNski: I think you can walk there.
A light and lookout that's obviously needed at that point Mary..Easy to run aground on that low lying land.
Mary MacADNski: Lots of sandy spots around the channels to be aware of.
I wanna stay there for a weekend smile
Mary MacADNski: I've got the place for you - even better.
