What we do doesn't define who we are.
What defines us is how well we rise after falling.

Green Island Lighthouse Compound
The buildings of the Green Island Lighthouse Compound were declared as monuments in 2008. The historic buildings include the two lighthouses built in 1875 and 1905 and the European quarters of the lighthouse compound. These three buildings are individually Grade II historic buildings.
The first lighthouse, 12 metres (39 ft) tall and constructed of granite, began operation on 1 July 1875. There are two cross-shaped openings on its wall for ventilation and lighting. The openings resemble gun-posts like those found in medieval European castles. These are of the same construction as those found on the Cape Collinson Lighthouse at Siu Sai Wan, Hong Kong Island. Construction began on a second lighthouse in 1904, completed in 1905, which was originally intended to house the Cape D’Aguilar light. Built of granite and concrete, sitting beside its predecessor, the newer lighthouse is 17.5 metres (57 ft) tall, painted white, with a steel-caged lantern on top. A concrete spiral staircase with rails gives access to the lantern room. An upper floor was added to the keeper's house in 1923 and the lighthouse was automated in the 1970s. The two lighthouses, along with Cape D'Aguilar Lighthouse, Waglan Island Lighthouse and Tang Lung Chau Lighthouse (Kap Sing Lighthouse) are the only prewar lighthouses remaining.

Made as a birthday card. I'm pleased with the design but in retrospect the cutting out could have been neater.
Sunrise at the Hazel Mountain Overlook in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. The forest is still full of green. Normally, by this time of year, the trees would have turned and started dropping all of their leaves.

This female Green Honeycreeper is from our October trip to Costa Rica. This one was coming down from the canopy to eat fruit and though it did occasionally come in close it never stopped moving for more than a couple of seconds making photography challenging. Luckily for us the fruit held the bird’s attention long enough for us all to get photos.
