Next stop the Arctic, HFF.

Records show this to be the windiest place in the UK. Look West from here and there's nothing between you and Northern Canada; look north and it's open ocean all the way to the Arctic. The Lighthouse stands 121ft high and was built between 1859 and 1862 by David and Thomas Stevenson,

The Butt of Lewis latitude 58°30.940'N and Longitude 006°15.717'W with a flashing white light every 5 seconds and a range of 25 nautical miles..

Pip showing rocks below the lighthouse on a calm day,

An impressive capture Roger and so is the PiP. (I am amazed at your big water-mark on there-don't see many of those nowadays.) Not the prettiest of light-houses with those comm-dishes but it works for me. Well done.

A beautiful contrast in colour between the lighthouse and the sky. I remember being there years ago on a lovely sunny day but it was windy and there were wild waves in your calm bay.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Jean

Many thanks Jean, even on this midsummer day a decent coat was required as a cold breeze was coming from the other coast which is probably why the water this side was calm.
