Excellent as usual Tony. This is not that far from me. I need to get out and shoot it one day....
Well, if you’d like me to drag along with you, and I can make it, I’m up for it.
The big restriction is the opening times, here:

They’re expecting the lighthouse to go with the next big storm. The tidal action is having most effective on the other side from where I took this photo. It’s not nice.
Thanks for the comment, @eternumviti. I recently bought an SRB ND1000 Rugged filter, and that seems to have helped me progress a little. Only £40 for the 77mm, so why not!

I think I've probably mentioned it on here before, but my daughter's bedroom at the top of Aldeburgh looked down the Alde towards Orford, and she used to love the light from the lighthouse passing across her bedroom walls, found it somehow very comforting. There was much sadness when they switched the light off, I suppose it was about 4 years ago. I've a cousin whose house in the boondocks below Orford also looks straight onto it.
Presumably the plan to dismantle and move the structure inland came to nothing.
that image shows how the defences have worked well, but you can’t hold it back forever.
Nice one plum - keep them coming. I've also been out with the wide angle recently: finding it quite challenging. I like the depth / perspective of your photo.Hi folks, long time daily lurker here and about time I tried contributing !

Thanks - much appreciated. We've had a very mixed week here (weather-wise) but this shot was an example of just being patient, and always taking the camera in hope if not expectation!. The walk up to this point had been rainy / cloudy / flat and not great for photos. We stopped for a break on a little peninsula - the sun shone through very briefly. A couple of shots only and this one worked for me. We head back south tomorrow - hope you both have a great visit. I'd not been for several years but have been knocked out by the sheer beauty, spectacle and tranquility of the Lake District.Wonderful stuff, Ian.
Mrs Gromit and I are in the Lakes for a few days from this sunday, so looking forward to it. We did have several days' fell-walking planned but sadly won't be able to this time, but still hope to drag myself up to Orrest Head on one of the days. We've always done the 'big' stuff on walking holidays so it'll be good to go up O.H for a change as never been up there before.
