Now for those of you who don't know, a beacon is a large basket on top of a pole which was lit when there was danger or for towns to communicate with each other. They're pretty old, but they are a part of the country's history so it's nice that they are still around. Unfortunately they aren't as cool as the ones you see in films like Lord of the Rings, but it's the same idea!
It was bitterly cold when we got to the top of the hillS so much so that we struggled to take photos as our fingers were so cold!
But here are some of the ones I managed to take!
Beautiful skies...
My little photography buddy...
Amazing how some plants can retain such bright greens when others turn to brown...
This is part of a statue at the top of the hill carved out of wood...
And the beacon itself, told you it wasn't as impressive as in the films...
For some of these photos I used my Gorilla Pod, so don't forget to enter my competition where you can win one for yourself!
I have no idea where this is at (even with what you put....geography and I do not get along) but your pictures make me want to visit. The picture of the Statue is probably my favorite.
ReplyDeletehaha well it is in England, so it would be a little tricky for you to visit! But if you do ever pop across the pond, its right in the centre of the country, but it is only a little town where I go to university. Plenty of places like this across the country though so I'm sure you'd find one anywhere you went!
