Barbara,thanks!
Ro...Zhoen, yes — not much too it.<br /><br />Barbara,thanks!<br /><br />Robin, I'm sure some of the currents in Cook Strait would have tested Odysseus. The sea at the entrance to Tory Channel, where the inter-island ferries reach the South Island, is usually spectacularly scary, even in good weather.<br /><br />Anne-Marie, I thought you might like this! Thanks for the link to the Maritime NZ website; I checked it and it's not shown, so your guess about its being a beacon sounds on the mark. I've emailed Maritime NZ, so when I get a response I'll update the post.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-84027682805518821652012-08-17T14:22:32.341+12:002012-08-17T14:22:32.341+12:00Hmmmm.

Depending on its location in Cook Strait, it's most likely to be a light beacon, somewhere like Ninepin Rock. I love its lean! Great capture of it too, Pete.<br /><br />This page has a link to a map of all lighthouses and beacons in NZ:<br />http://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/Commercial/Shipping-safety/Aids-to-navigation/Lighthouses-of-New-Zealand.asp - you'll be to identify its location better than me.<br /><br />That's enough lighthouse geekiness for now!Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05709958246227912639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-56773872804038391672012-08-17T11:40:10.628+12:002012-08-17T11:40:10.628+12:00I love the mood of this photo, Pete.

For some reason it made me think of Odysseus strapped to the mast, leaning out to hear the Sirens song.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-33582059784231233672012-08-16T07:09:31.520+12:002012-08-16T07:09:31.520+12:00the first thing that popped to mind was, 'i ca...the first thing that popped to mind was, 'i can't cook straight!' aside from the humor, this is a beautiful, haunting image. lovely work, pete!Barbara Butler McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250129625281645201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-15373503973286353342012-08-16T01:20:59.010+12:002012-08-16T01:20:59.010+12:00So stark and lonely.So stark and lonely.Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.com
