Derelict Lookout Post

So, we come to the end of another year and the beginning of a new one. I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a healthy and happy new year and to thank you for all the fun and inspiration you guys have been for me over the course of 2012.

This old ruin was a coastguard lookout post in days gone by but time and tide waits for no man and as the sea ate away at the headland the coastguards retreated back inland a bit. Their "new" premises is still standing and in good order but was sold off about 15 years ago and has been turned into apartments with a view. I guess the use of the coastguard helicopter has made the need for a permanent presence no longer necessary.

All of this should remind us on his important day that what's past, is past. The future, with all its uncertainty and challenge lies ahead to be embraced. What we get out of it depends on what we are prepared tp put into it.
Happy New Year to one and all.
