Nearly to the end. The ever-reliable Luis, at least, is managing to keep up and keep posting comments. Thank you everyone for encouragement and suggestions so far. Here's another six starting from here. <http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/c_001/KI+34.jpg.html> <http://tinyurl.com/2vg4hk> This time I am showing Cape Willoughby Lightstation This one is on the Eastern tip of KI. While much of the tower looks as in the 1850's, internally it has been completely changed. Nevertheless the location could hardly be more scenic. The current caretaker, Mary is a friendly and fascinating genuine Aussie. You may see her with my son here. Also shown is the largest fresnel lens set thay I have ever seen. Definitely bigger than inyour average manual focus SLR. I have shown some of the view from the top. The seas were extremely calm on our visit day. The caretaker told me that dolphins had been frolicking at the foot of the point that morning. I asked when the weather was the most interesting (with a view to future photography). Mary tells me that they see eleven meter swells around the September equinox. That would be truly awesome. The last photograph shows the original keepers cottages which are now updated and offered for accommodation. Naturally comments and critiques are still welcomed. The specifics posted by a number of people so far have been very helpful in choosing some photographs for show. Cheers Hoppy _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
