<p>Commentary.<br />
<br />
Like the cast off, and worn, serrated teeth of a giant Great White Shark,<br />
“The Needles,” at the western tip of this holiday island<br />
reach out beyond the Solent and towards the Purbeck Hills of Dorset, of which they were once part.<br />
<br />
An iconic landmark to boats, yachts, liners, aircraft and landlubbers alike, these chalk remnants are stacks of significance, notoriety and obstructive danger.<br />
Hence, the Victorian, granite lighthouse<br />
with helipad, 1987, and full automation, 1994.</p>
