Gwennap Head


 
A few miles from lands end, the natural forms within the cliffs are countered by the man made objects on top. Trinity House navigation daymarks on Gwennap Head, near Porthgwarra. When the red cone obliterates the black and white one the observer at sea is directly above the dangerous Runnel Stone.
Maybe its because of their necessity, or maybe because of their age (nearly two hundred years old),  the beacons just seem to sit really comfortably in this severe landscape.
