This is the week of the letter “L”. The light in the photo below is right across from my family apartment in Lisbon. It must’ve originally been powered by gas (a couple of hundred years ago), lit each evening by the gas-lighters. Eventually electrified, not sure when, it’s a beacon of Home for me.
The lighthouse at Cabo S. Vicente close to Sagres in Portugal is the most southern point of the European continent. Ahead is the Atlantic Ocean until you hit the North American continent. Another beacon, this time alerting ships’ captains of danger.
You got it, I’m catching up on the 26 Weeks Letter Challenge. The last letter posted was G (you can see it here). The reasons for needing to catch up are now public (you can read that here).
I for one love heights. I have no time for enclosed spaces being a bit claustrophobic myself. But heights? They are a different thing. I love those lifts that are all glass and go all the way up to the 10th floor (that’s as far as I’ve been in one of those lifts). I stand with my nose pressed against the glass looking down. It gives me quite a thrill. I’m looking forward to the time I can walk on one of those glass platform over the Grand Canyon. It may sound weird because I don’t like lifts, but the fact that I can see out (and people can see in in case it gets stuck or something) makes up for it.

From the top of Table Mountain your gaze goes as far as the eye can see. Not too sure if that last sentence makes sense but you know what I mean. Don’t you?
Looking towards the old Jaffa Port – this is a gorgeous walk along the Tel Aviv promenade. I was approached by a man while I was photographing and he struck up a conversation. I brought that conversation to a screeching halt when he asked me where I was going. He was probably harmless but I kept looking over my shoulder as I walked.
This is one of my favourite places on earth! I’ve written ad nauseum about this piece of bliss in the middle of Cape Town. Well, I hope it hasn’t been ad nauseum. Here’s another pic, this one taken from the top of the Boomslang Tree Canopy Walkway. I’ve also written about that one, just click on the link in the previous sentence to read it.
