It’s so exciting to be able to go to the top of the Point
again. When I was a kid, we could drive
right up to the lighthouse and Park.
Then, for years, only ranger’s vehicles could park near the lighthouse.
I sat down on the stone wall for a while. This was built here in the 1930’s as part of
a WPA construction program. Although
they raised the road shortening the height of the wall, it is still possible to
sit comfortably on the stones and watch the city across the harbor mouth. Who thought I would ever just enjoy sitting
and looking.
“Look, there’s a large aircraft on the runway with droopy
wings,” G said.
“I can’t see it.”
“It’s moving down the runway now.”
And suddenly I could see it taking off.

Interesting photos. Sorry you needed a shot in the hip. Hubby has trouble with his right hip, which freezes when he walks. His doctor told him the shot for hips has not been approved yet. Hmmm. I'll tell David about your shot and maybe he can ask his doctor about it.
ReplyDeleteLighthouses are fascinating, as are the views they have. Always thought it would be fun to rent one of those that are available for a couple of nights.
ReplyDeleteYour comment about the art and sculptures + buildings lost in WWII reminds me of the slides one of my art professors showed us and then she would say, "You will never see that...it was destroyed in WWII."
ReplyDeleteOh the WPA built some fine things. If only we had the $$ to do more these days. Dianne
I'd like to sit on the wall with you. It's a great view.
ReplyDeleteSitting on a wall and taking pictures across the ocean. What a nice thing to do. Hoping you will feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious day you had and what glorious photos, Mage!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for the pain you're enduring. Please try to take it easy.
Dearly love the point. Good on you!
