Cape Town was my favourite lighthouse — until I went to see the light in North Truro on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA, which if truth were told, I have seen not once but dozens of times since my childhood, but never as I saw it on this day. I took more than a dozen pictures from every possible angle and distance with this one, it fascinated me. The result is beyond what I thought I was capable of in a photograph, it’s like a painting, and when I printed it for an exhibition in February 2011 at the Barbican Centre library in London, near where I live, of a dozen of my pictures, I couldn’t believe how lovely it looked. Here it is.
And I’m going back to see it again soon, in July 2011. But for now, this is the end of my posts with the lighthouses I have known.
