Back from walkies, figured I'd show you one of the things I see when I go up the beach a bit.

The lighthouse is actually a much further away, but you can see it on the horizon from the pier that I walk up to...a really nifty sight at night or in the early morning, especially during a dark, thick rain...it's been a long time since I've seen it lit up, maybe two or three years... I'm about due to visit it in the dark again sometime...Sometimes I think about taking my sweetheart there, and comparing it to the one closer to where she lives.

I'd recite a sonnet to her... (Pardon me for clipping Billy Shakespeare's 41st)

Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force,
Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill,
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;
And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Wherein it finds a joy above the rest:
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best.
Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,
Of more delight than hawks or horses be;
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast:
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away and me most wretched make.

All, because I do love her so. A walk along the beach with her, holding hands, watching the sunrise. She's in my heart and with me wherever I decide to wander...thoughts of her heart beating next to mine, as well as inside it, her lips pressing against my own, our souls together, happy, and joined as one.

That is pretty awesome - living within walking distance - a buz.

Have you been to the top.

Cheers.

One of my favourite spots is a light station on top of a disintegrating rocky peninsula at Watipu Beach, the beach wraps around the Oceanside entrance to the Manukau Harbour.

The beach is surreal, dangerous in the best of weather in that should you wade into the water deeper than your knees you are likely to be dragged out to sea - the swell of the ocean breaking on the beach.
There is a bar just of the beach, from the light station you can see the surf break on the bar - fishing boats are reluctant to enter the harbour when it is rough and do so at their peril when the ocean side conditions are more dangerous than the bar.
Looking down form the Light station the sea is angry, agitated, dangerous and unforgiving. - Very Salvador Dali in the extreme with a hint of menace.
