A lighthouse

This lighthouse is located on the highest part of Robben Island, South Africa. It was completed in 1865, and before then fires were made on the hill to warn sailors of the island's location. 

 "My lighthouse, my lighthouse

Shining in the darkness, I will follow you

......I will trust the promise

You will carry me safe to shore.."

Where the land meets the sea

 This is cuckmere haven in East Sussex. I love this lighthouse and cliff walk and if you swam out to sea you would reach France.

Where the desert meets the sea

 The skeleton coast on the west coast of Namibia is a place of many shipwrecks. It's where the Namib Desert meets the Atlantic Ocean and is quite a treacherous length of coast with pounding waves, strong winds and foggy weather. This particular shipwreck occurred in the early 2000's.

A weekend by the sea

 We went to the Kent coast last weekend and goodness it was bleak! I asked a swimmer what the temperature was and she said it was a 'nice 14 degrees'.
