Thursday 28 April 2011: Crowdy Head Lighthouse
I had to go to Taree for work today. Taree is about a 2 hour drive north of Newcastle. I did a little detour on the way home to Crowdy Head. I was hoping for a lovely clear sunny image but the blip gods were against me and it was a grey dull rainy day. Wet again! I am making sacrifices to the blip gods for good weather for tomorrow and the weekend.
