I saw a shop with some odd things in the shop window. It was full of interior design merchandise.

As I lined up the camera outside, looking through the window, I noticed sudden activity inside the shop.

Out came the shop owner.

'Oh, no. Please come inside to take your pictures', the lady said.

I dutifully entered the shop and explained the purpose of my pictures.

She was delighted!

North Foreland Lighthouse.

First built in 1691 & now completely un-manned.

During the 1970s I used to listen to the shipping forecasts from this station, when it had a keeper on-site.

It's now managed by Trinity House remotely from the county of Essex.
