Many Thanks to Erik Nyfenger who traveled with us in September of this past year on The Great Circle Route.
After speaking with Erik this past week about the upcoming Southern Expedition we received and email with a few of the pictures that he shot on the trip.
While small in stature, there is just something about the Lighthouse on Pooles Island that is really incredible...it is extremely simple...beautifully balanced...the back drop of the island is fantastic against the white tower.
As we bring the boat around the southern end of the island there is one brief bit of time when the back drop is just perfect, allowing you to get the lush green foliage behind the white tower and the clean blue of the sky behind the black lantern room.
Seem a bit funny to get so excited about something this simple....well, maybe...but when you spend so much of your time in appreciation of these extrodinary, unique structures you begin to develop a true sense of what each one has to offer.....
We can't wait to get back out there !

In my vessel, "Sandy Claws," we have spent many hours relaxing in the shadow of Pooles Light. Beautiful scenery, wonderful bay.
