Low Head Light

Lighthouses are loaded with symbolism and most of us love them. They are the setting for suspense stories, they can save lives, are often beautiful and unfortunately ones like this are rapidly being replaced by what looks like LEDs on poles. Anyway this one at the Mouth of the River Tamar in Tasmania was painted in summer, I particularly like the golden grasses and the blue green lichens on the rocks.
