Such stunning photos and I appreciated that you added some history about it. I am wondering if you have any old photos of your grandfather while he was at "work". I would have loved to have heard some of your grandfather's stories. One wish I have is to spend the night in a light house. Also, I am impressed with the size of the structure.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing this with us, Emma! Also, it was great to hear from you and thank you so much ...

Visiting a site that has been around for that long and undoubtedly played a role in the lives of many must've given you a moment to reflect and contemplate on how important the lighthouse must've been and how it has withstood the test of time. I love your sunglasses and dress as well in the photo :)sleepandwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916100256685023244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842134200894511866.post-40523676042933607902013-08-28T00:54:36.192+01:002013-08-28T00:54:36.192+01:00Hello, dear Emma!

Dripping with history, the Hook Lighthouse is a bold, majestic and beautiful structure. Thank you for giving an outline of its history. Imagine the ferocious storms the light tower has witnessed and all the ships it has saved in the centuries it has stood guard over the coastline. I would have loved to join you and Donnacha as you climbed the stairs and explored it. As usual, the photographs you and he took are brilliant. <br /><br />Good night to you, dear friend Emma. I hope you are having a great week! <br />Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.com
