Haar

Another one from my trip on Monday - we couldn't actually see the rock until we were within about six feet of it.

Explore #452, July 5th 2009

And I met the Queen today. Yes really.

So let me see then, if you were a boat you would have crashed already...some lighthouse!
A cat may look at a King... I suppose it extends to Queens too ;-)

I've got a garden in my lighthouse. And the Queen visits regularly. Brings her fancy man but don't tell anyone. It's a secret.

Og* does make a great photo if you get it right. You got it right!

*Sorry about the 'F' in Fog**

**It is Save An Old Joke week.

Atmospheric - and ideal weather conditions for a lighthouse. Used to experience haars quite often when I lived near St Andrews.

I'm green with envy, even if those the conditions look foul, Cat Lady! So that was a Stevenson lighthouse as well. We are going to Skye in the first week of August (Inshallah!) and I want to see the Stevenson lighthouse on Isleoronsay too!
