Ed Johnson-Williams' microblog

I shared a couple of photos of our visit to the Souter Lighthouse at South Shields last weekend with colleagues.

A colleague who also lives near the coast mentioned they don't her foghorns anymore.

Another colleague recommended a book about foghorns which talks about why they're not a sound you hear anymore. Turns out the author's obsession with foghorns started at Souter Lighthouse.

So I'm going to read this book next:

The Foghorn's Lament: The Disappearing Music of the Coast

A book called The Foghorn's Lament
