$1 million prize




I took the top three pics early yesterday morning in Arbroath, whilst waiting to go in to a course on how to sit in a chair and look at a computer 'correctly'...... How I've survived till now I just don't know.
The silhouette of Arbroath Abbey against the morning sky caught my eye.....







......But just to the right of the Abbey, I was struck by something in this scene. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Perhaps it was the glint of the sun?.....




I'm not sure how noticeable it is in the two pics.....but there's a prize of $1 million for the first person who spots it and leaves a comment...... well, mebbe not.
Clicking to enlarge will help........ the pics were taken approximately 60 seconds apart.








What is it about this telegraph that fascinates me?





A slightly warmer feel to take us into evening.

The Signal Tower

The Signal Tower and person with dog.

These pics were taken a couple of weeks back at Arbroath harbour. Above is looking south west towards Carnoustie over the harbour bar. The Signal Tower is just visible at the far right.


The seagull had one eye on me.



This is where I park my yacht.




The Signal Tower. Now a Museum. Originally built (as its name suggests) as the Signal Tower for the Bell Rock Lighthouse, it was completed nearly 200 years ago in 1813. In the 1950's, the building was converted into council houses, how cool would they have been? I really must get round to a post devoted solely to Lighthouses and the Stevenson family involvement with them. It's all fascinating stuff......

In the meantime I recommend a visit to this website for a bit more info on the Signal Tower and if you're interested in that then the rest of the site is fascinating too. Enjoy.
