on the walking path
this is the view at the end of the trail that leads from the house to the water. this lighthouse, rebuilt and renovated, was originally commissioned in 1806 to guide sailors safely to shore. it's awe-inspiring to think that two hundred years ago, on a clear summer day much like this one, someone may have stood on this very spot to gaze across the channel at this same sight.

I have that same wonder-full sensation. One of the reasons I love art, architecture and history. Thanks for sharing.
Love shots of the coast in summer. xo Jenny
