Lets sit and ponder Plover Scar

Lets sit and ponder Plover Scar
We are here on the very windy Lancaster coast near the estuary of the River Lune. The view here is actually across the Irish Sea and the star attraction is this old 1847 lighthouse – ‘Plover Scar’ that protects the southern entrance of the river. It is just there that a small dockyard is situated – Glasson Docks. This used to be a place where sea-going ships unloaded their cargoes into canal-barges heading for inland mills and factories up the Lancaster Canal.
See Pips and adjacent photo for closer look at this lighthouse and Glasson Dock itself.

Enjoy full screen.

HBM, have a good week.

Hi Herb
A wonderful picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition balancing the bench and lighthouse..
I was in Morecambe a couple of weeks ago, but haven't got round to posting the pics yet (although not as nice as this one)
Best Wishes, HBM, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Hi Peter. I must admit that I have always enjoyed Morecambe and even moreso over the last couple of years. The last time we were up there we took a walk down into Heysham itself along the coastal path. Very nice in fine weather.

Look forward to your shots.

Keep safe. Herb

Thank you for all the detailed description, adds so much dimension to an already evocative photo.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Sarah P. club
Hi Sarah, nice to see you here again. Yes, I think a small description about the scene or reasoning behind the capture helps to complete the picture so to speak. Glad you enjoyed it.

Keep safe. Herb
