South Head. Lighthouse and keepers cottage.  by johnfalconer

South Head. Lighthouse and keepers cottage.

This is the South Head to the entrance to Sydney Harbour. The light-keeper’s cottage was built in 1858.

The complex of buildings behind the cottage belong to the Royal Australian Navy.

The tiny beach on the right is Lady Bay Beach which is accessible to the public via a walking track. Clothing is optional at this beach!

This was taken on my iPhone and I’ve probably “overprocessed” it to give it some oomph!
Stunning capture of this wonderful landscape, clouds are marvelous too.

Lovely. I learned to sail in Middle Harbour and remember coming out to the Heads on the first day of Spring when EVERYONE in the world seemed to be out on the water! Chaos but crazy fun.

Just here the sea entrance gets a bit rough. I was in a silly little ferry being tossed around and nearly lost the iPhone overboard!!!

The processing works very well when seen on black.

What a fabulous scene. I don't think it has been overprocessed. The clouds look amazing.

Hornby Lighthouse at South Head is one of my favourite lighthouses. fav
