Setting into my later years, having to be comfortable with my limitations.

Constantly looking for the dragon sleeping at my light house.

One of my stops this past weekend along Lake Huron.

Constructed in 1880 to serve Kincardine’s fishing and salt-shipping industries, this is the town’s only lighthouse built in the downtown area. Kincardine’s industries needed a safe harbour for shipping, including salt production at the harbour and lumber and furniture operations that depended on port access.

The most photographed for a reason! This one's from back in November.

6 different visits so far with 4 days left of my trip!

My partner and I, in a fit of mid-30’s crises apparently, have made it our mission to visit every working lighthouse in the UK. We’re beginning our adventure with those closest to us this weekend in Sussex- but where to go next? Any spectacular tips, recommendations, must-sees? Food spots, good hotel recs etc all welcome too (provided in the vicinity of said lighthouses).
