Day Mark[/caption]Landscapes
A recent trip for Northumberland landscapes took us to the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, on the North East coast of Northumberland, England, brought us upon this curious monolith.
Set on the North East tip of the island at Emmanuel Point, it is a "Day Mark". Built of brick in 1810 and standing at 35 feet high, it provided a marker for maritime navigation.
Oh, and there's a very nice cafe for a full English breakfast!!

The Shot
It was windy that day but I didn't want the grass to blur too much so a fast shutter speed was used. Many landscapes are available around the island, don't be happy just to hang around the castle but be sure you keep one eye on the time and the tide.
The image was later processed in Nik Silver Efex Pro 2.
