On the same rainy, stormy day in December 2003, when we visited the Berry Head Lighthouse, we also saw the light on the breakwater at Brixham Harbour. We walked out to the end of the breakwater, despite the wet weather.

The closer we got, the easier it was to see the rust on the little white tower.
