Beach walks

Beaches are an ever changing landscape, depending on the time of day, where the tide is, the weather, and so on.  It's always interesting.

Frank Island, privately owned, can only be reached at low tide.  Once there, on the far side, there's a good view of the lighthouse on Lennard Island.  Caroline Woodward has written an excellent book, Light Years: a Memoir of a Modern Lighthouse Keeper, which tells how she and her husband started working on the lights, and the challenges they faced.  This CBC interview from 2015 has photos taken from the Lennard light, where they were working, and may still be living.


These people are about to fall off the edge of the world...
Of course at the end of the day, a beach is a wonderful place to watch the sunset:
