Daily Photo – Blackett’s Lighthouse in Timaru

The last time I stopped in Timaru I was a little hard on the dear old place. It had been a long drive and I had been stuck in a long convoy of traffic, which left me in a grumpy mood. The only park I could find was in front of a building that had seen better days. There were few coffee options in the area and the only one I found was terrible.

On this occasion I decided to give it another try and opted for a walk to Blackett’s Lighthouse, which then led down to the beach and shoreline of Caroline Bay. It was one of those warm summer days when the sky was clear, the wind had dropped and the tide drifted lazily in and out under the sparkling sun. If anything, it was altogether pleasant.
