Strong current pulls
Sweeps drowning souls forever circled
By violent water

  10. That is such an interesting picture. Scary as heck, that water would have waves surrounding a structure though. I wouldn't want to be there.

  13. Yes, it was a risky business, getting about in boats back then. But maybe not as risky as being in that little light house in that weather!

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
