You see not the hardest rules to be part of the competition.
The picture for the contest
I would like to participate with Neist Point, the famous lighthouse on the Isle of Skye. You can find this lighthouse at the most western tip of Skye. This place is what you can call extreme in landscape(views) and weather. If you go visit this lighthouse you can follow the footsteps of Emily Watson in Breaking the Waves. Explore this beautiful place, you can build a stone man or watch the depths and try to spot some dolphins.
The cliff rise high above the ocean and from the edge you will see the waves smashing on the rocks far underneath your feet. Watch out there are no fences or something to protect you from falling down. When the sky is clear you can see the islands of the Outer-Hebrides
The lighthouse itself is build in 1900, at that time the lighthouse was manned. But nowadays it is controlled and automated. The light itself is 43 meters above sea level and can be seen 16 nautical miles from the ocean. The cottages surrounding the lighthouse are privatley owned. Once a place rented out for a great holiday location, nowadays abandoned and not in use anymore.
