Others have had their pics of Lindisfarne (or Holy Island) - here's one of the castle. It was a dull day in May, 2007 and fairly cool - not much sun to put some light into the scene, so conversion to B&W seemed a natural, with some tweaking of contrast and saturation and a final vignette to emphasise the greyness of the day. I've used the white background to lighten the overall effect.

Answer to yesterday's puzzle picture (which many knew!): this was the lens in the lighthouse on Souter Point in County Durham, at Marsden, between Sunderland and South Shields. It was difficult to get any kind of a shot, because one was crammed between the lens and the wall of the lighthouse - tricky.
Here's a colour version from the other side of the lens, one of the lighthouse itself.

Now owned by the National Trust, the lighthouse is a fascinating place to visit. The light was the first in the country to use alternating electric current and its designer James Douglass also designed the fourth version of the Eddystone Light near Plymouth.
