For me the beautiful Bamburgh Lighthouse has a face! It was built by Trinity House in 1910 to guide shipping along the Northumberland coast and in the waters around the Farne Islands.

Early morning at Bamburgh beach - fluffy pink clouds, a (full) moon set, and reflections of the clouds in the wet sand. The colours were almost unreal but this is what nature offered me.

Bamburgh sunset

I was lucky, I had just one evening on the Northumberland coast, and it turned out to be a beautiful sunset, followed by a beautiful blue hour.

Bamburgh Gold, England
Bamburgh Castle
by Adelheid Smitt

I still have some older photos that I want to post, and this is one of them. This was just a beautiful golden hour in North East England with the sun lighting up Bamburgh Castle in red whilst dark clouds were moving in from the other side. With my present full frame camera I probably could have gotten a better shot, but it is still one of my favourites from that particular British trip.
