The Needles from Headon Warren

Comments

Beautiful. If you like lighthouses, try the one at St Cathernes in the IOW, it's rather picturesque.

A view of the Needles lighthouse from Headon Warren on the most westerly part of the Isle of Wight. I do seem to have a thing about painting lighthouses at the moment, I'm not sure why. This lighthouse used to be manned until the late 1970s or early 1980s. It didn't have the landing pad above the light then and the men had to be taken in by boat. Again this is from a photograph I took whilst out with the local natural history society.
