Trinity House Lighthouse Calendar Competition

The Corporation of Trinity house have been ensuring the safety of shipping and the wellbeing of seafarers ever since Trinity House was granted a Royal Charter by Henry VIII in 1514.  They are the organisation in the UK that runs and maintains all the lighthouses around our shores.

Each year they run a photography competition to select the photographs for the lighthouse calendar that they publish.  I’ve just heard that one of my pictures, the one below, has been selected for the 2017 calendar.  Voting is now open on the Trinity House website to choose the overall winner of the competition. Your vote, if you like my photograph of course, would be gratefully received.  The prize is a stay at one of their rather plush lighthouse holiday cottages.  You can vote by following the link below.  It’ll only take a second. Thank you.

    • Thank you very much Jude! It was taken very early in the morning (similar light). The rising sun was just starting to cast its glow on the lighthouse and give the clouds their colour.

      June 17, 2015 at 8:24 am

      • Ah, I wasn’t sure whether it would catch the morning light on that side of the peninsula. I am going to have to become a morning person :-/
