Notes from a friend:

One of our trips to this lighthouse occurred right before sunset on a cold February evening. With a slight wind, it was quite frigid even being bundled up in winter wear. I can't imagine how the beautiful white swans spend the winter in the cold water surrounded by floating blocks of ice. Haven't they heard about flying south?
