My brother-in-law Fraser Gill is posting a picture with a sea theme every day on Facebook and is inviting people to join in.\u00a0\u00a0 I have been doing it now for several days.\u00a0 Yesterday He posted a picture of St Mary’s Lighthouse at Whitley Bay.\u00a0 It is just a mile or so from where he lives.<\/p>\n

\"StMary'sLighthouse\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It is strange how things come together.\u00a0 On the cover of a photographic magazine I have been reading there is the very same lighthouse.\u00a0\u00a0 I have never taken pictures of that lighthouse, but perhaps I will some day.<\/p>\n

My lighthouse subject is Buchan Ness.\u00a0 I was looking for a new angle on my lighthouse the other day and went down to the shore underneath the new prison building at Petehead.\u00a0 As well as the Boddam power station, I notice you could see the Bucha Ness lighthouse way in the distance.\u00a0 You can even spot the bridge linking it to the mainland.\u00a0\u00a0 I look out my camera….flat battery!\u00a0 Fortunately I had my phone and this picture was taken on the phone.\u00a0 It is amazing the quality you can get nowadays.<\/p>\n

I went back yesterday and tried again.\u00a0 This time I climbed up a grassy bank so that the lighthouse would be lit up by the afternoon sun.\u00a0 At that moment a seagull appear and I just managed to click the camera once.\u00a0\u00a0 I am delighted with the result.\u00a0\u00a0 A seagull, admiring the view.\u00a0 That’s the picture at the top of this post.<\/p>\n
