I love the striped lighthouse, so much nicer than plain white. I like that metal structure outside the museum too, looks like a groper.

Strangely enough it's not all that windy. I think it is that the winds in that part seem to always be blowing from the same direction. They are quite a sight to see. I remember being intrigued by them when we were there.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-12773536314172418772013-08-22T12:15:06.923+08:002013-08-22T12:15:06.923+08:00It's a great place up there isn't it?

Resilient things, aren't they? Not sure I'd want to spend a whole lot of time in a place with winds strong enough to do THAT, though. Lord knows, I have enough trouble maintaining my equilibrium in a gentle breeze.Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.com
