Start Point Lighthouse

A rather close look at this unusual lighthouse here on the South Hams Devon coast. Set amongst majestic cliffs, this lighthouse is still open for visitors and its outbuildings are now rental cottages. It was built in 1836 and is now a grade II listed building. Of course the sky was of great interest to me here too.

We read here that a hundred thousand ships past this point each year. To the side of us, we spy another tanker passing as I photograph.

You are right Doug. I took many from around here and as you can tell the viewpoint from the bottom here was a bit restricted. Like you, I enjoyed the sky.
