Godrevy Lighthouse view.

Godrevy Lighthouse view.
Walking the ‘South west Coast’ path around Godrevy Point is most rewarding. Not only do you have great views of an Island rock lighthouse but there are numerous Grey Seals about too. (There were some just down in this rocky cove.) This short bit of fence though, not to be taken too lightly, the drop on the other side was dizzying.
Enjoy full size.

Have a great weekend. Herb

It always amazes me, these lighthouses in the sea. I wonder whether the lighthouse guard is still living there? HFF Herb.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Christa1004 club
Thanks for this Christa. We have been following a TV series about our Lighthouses here and it seems that there is not a single one now that is manned. So no lighthouse guard I am afraid. They are all fully automated and most have a tiny LED long life lamp plus automatic internet reporting to the appropriate authorities: (General Lighthouse Authority, Trinity House) for the UK. Lots are used for private rental holiday accommodation.

HFF, have a good weekend. Herb

Thanks for the information Herb.
In France, there is only one lighthouse inhabited all year round, and that is the Phare de Cordouan, the oldest in the country built in 1600 at the mouth of the Gironde estuary.

It is a wonder the fence is still standing, but it sounds like a good job it is after reading your description. Another beautiful coastal shot from Cornwall Herb.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Steve Paxton club
Yes, a few high drops around here. The thing was, they did not always look that way until you got near the edge.

A super shot Herb, - lovely composition, - the little fence with the lighthouse behind makes a great HFF image. Now I know where the Dunvegan seals went!!! Not a single one to be seen up there!

As you say that is quite a drop and I am surprised there is no warming on the fence - if you get to the end you have definitely gone too far!!

HFF and have a lovely weekend
3 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Ecobird club
Ah yes, there were around 30-40 all told, most nearer to the headland just in-front of the island.
Got to be a bit wary on there paths so no climbing fences here.

HFF, have a great weekend. Herb

Easy to see why a fence is needed here.................not that I'd be going anywhere near the edge of a cliff..!!

That's a wonderful view though.........the island and lighthouse look really beautiful. Very well composed and taken Herb.

Have a great weekend.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Yes, better safe than sorry Keith. I did lean over rather dangerously when trying to find some of the seals a little further from here. Glad you liked the view.

Very nice, Herb. And the light house has it's own fencing all around, too.
I find the foreground fence a bit disquieting ... what about the unfenced part? It looks just as dangerous! In the image, though, the interrupted fence works very well and adds intrigue.

Belated HFF!
