Over 2000 shipwrecks have occurred in this area named The Graveyard of the Pacific. Treacherous currents and marginal weather contribute to make it one of the most dangerous places for boats. Hence the many lighthouses on the shore.
Sheringham Point Lighthouse has been decommissioned although there is an automatic beacon light to warn sailors away. It's now a lovely place to walk, whether rainy or sunny. The specks in the water seen above are kelp beds, rich sources of marine life. Gulls perch on the rocky shores.
A favourite meal on a cool October day is White Chicken Chili. It's easy to put together in the morning and let cook in the slow cooker for several hours. We like to add grated Cheddar on top, and avocado slices, if we have them. The recipe credit goes to Penny who had a blog for many years, but no longer posts.
Sunshine and gloriously coloured autumn leaves marked my day today. But the temperature is falling as well as the leaves. I was glad for gloves on my morning walk. Just a few more days to enjoy this beautiful month.
Dearest Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely lighthouse that is!
The reason it got put up is a very tragic one I must say... So many lives lost.
That soup is quite the comfort food for this time of the year.
Hugs,
Mariette
Love the look of the lighthouse. The chili is going on our menu!
ReplyDeleteI’m writing my weekly shopping list this morning and that is definitely a recipe I will add. Sounds delicious. I certainly don’t use my slow cooker enough. Beautiful lighthouse. B x
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of the lighthouse, good that it is still there to tell the tale of all those lost at sea:)
ReplyDeleteThat white chicken chili looks awfully good. The avocado slices are a great idea for a topping -- hadn't thought of that before!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo and perfect weather to get that shot of the lighthouse! It's been ages since I've made White Chicken chili. That photo inspires me. Take care...
ReplyDeleteYour chili looks so tasty. We need food like that in this Autumn/Winter season.
