"St. Mary's Lighthouse is on the tiny St. Mary's Island, just north of Whitley Bay on the coast of North East England. The small rocky tidal island is linked to the mainland by a short concrete causeway which is submerged at periods of high tide. While it no longer functions as a working lighthouse, it is easily accessible (when the tide is out) and is open to visitors."...................... if you look at other shots of st. mary's in the perms. you will notice a difference. this one was taken at high tide. in this one you don't see rocks or pilings. you will note all the water and the fact that the causeway is covered by the sea. thanks for any comments. ENJOY!

Crystal clear shot, Jen. I think I remember Owd Bob posting a link to the story of this great lighthouse. Beautiful shot, Jen. One of your very best.

Beautiful shot Jen. You have seen more beauty than I can imagine. Luckily you share some of it with us. Another great example of the beauty you have found. Wonderful post and description.

A beautiful & colorful capture Jen. I believe this is the first one I've seen of this lighthouse at high tide. You caught the water perfectly too. Outstanding!

Best wide-angle lens? Two steps backward. Look for the 'ah-ha'. Ernest Haas
i love this view of the lighthouse, did you get to cross or was the tide high all the time you were there, we used to holiday at whitley bay when we were kids and i have done a painting of this view but with the causeway showing rather than the sea. gotta stick it in my faves too.

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
A wonderful collection of buildings taken from a great angle Jen. Its nearness to the mainland and the fact that it is no longer a working lighthouse reminds me of my favourite Perch Rock Lighthouse. A great lighthouse shot and straight to faves.

Ah, Jen, the globe trotter...one day it's Hawaii and the next we're off to England. Wonderful shot with great color and clarity. Good on you, my friend.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Excellent capture...Into the favs...

Excellent clarity and focus Jen! - something about lighthouses that is very appealing.
ps apologies for lack of comments. I have been very busy lately and away for the last 10 days.

Wow jen really nice picture. It is really a beautiful place. I did googled for some image and saw that the walk way gets submerged sometimes in the water! at high times as you said. One pic showed people still walking through when there is a high tide. Must be a enjoyable and memorable moment!
Thanks jen for sharing the picture!

Looking at this I'm struck by what it would feel like to be all snug in that house. You could do all the things you'd normally do at home without even being aware that you were on this tiny scrap of land, it all looks so homely and normal. Like a tiny village. I love this shot, breaking the rules and centring the island was a great idea, and the classic nautical colours of red blue and white really sparkle.
