    Captured this view of Cliffe Park, on Sunderland's coast in NE England at the beginning of the week, looking north towards Whitburn Bay and Souter Point beyond.
    For anyone not local, the lighthouse in this picture was built in 1856 by Thomas Meik, the River Wear Commissioners' Engineer, and originally was located on the Old South Pier at the mouth of the River Wear.
    It became redundant in later years and was relocated to its present position as a reminder of the city's maritime heritage, not to mention becoming an iconic seafront landmark.

Part of the Farne Islands, a renowned National Trust site off the coast of Northumberland, it is a haven for seabirds and marine life.
