Four days of no sounds manmade,but the gentle rumble of waves rolling onto the shoreline. We had a beautiful stay in the Headkeeper's cottage at Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse.
The images were taken mostly at sunrise, with one only taken at sunset.
Luck was not on my side, with a band of low cloud hanging just above the horizon each morning. Yet in the afternoon, lack of cloud and colour in the sky.
Sugarloaf Point Light, also known as Seal Rocks Lighthouse, is an active lighthouse located on Sugarloaf Point, a point about 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) southeast of Seal Rocks, New South Wales, Australia. It guards Seal Rocks, a treacherous rock formation to the south. It is the first lighthouse designed by James Barnet. It is also one of only two towers in Australia with an external stairway.The current light is a 120 V 1,000 W quartz halogen lamp, powered by mains electricity with a backup diesel generator. The light intensity is 780,000 cd, and the light characteristic shown is flashing white with a cycle of 7.5 seconds. Also showing is an additional fixed red light, with a similar 120 V 1,000 W quartz halogen lamp, visible to the south, over Seal Rocks and other dangers. This secondary light is positioned at a lower height, and was originally green, changed to red in the 1980s.
