I share your fondness for lighthouses, and I'm sorry to hear you missed one. Love the story about the sphinx. What are the chances? The bridge is gorgeous. Norman could talk your ear off about cable-stay bridges.
I will always go out of my way for a lighthouse! Not sure I’ll go back for this one, but I’ll definitely look from the other side of the river when I reach the opposite bank.
That sphinx was the most extraordinary find after the misheard conversation just a minute before. The Bridge is quite breathtaking, literally. Standing directly underneath, on the path where the road passes overhead, and looking up, I felt a moment of lightheadedness and my breath caught. The marshes are interesting, not beautiful, but they have their own atmosphere and one wouldn't expect stunning countryside. Views of the bridge were indeed stunning and the tankers lined up on the north shore are constant reminders of the heavy shipping presence on the River. Watching the tiny tugboats chugging out to pull or guide the huge vessels into safe harbour indicated the cooperative nature of the industry.
