One annoying thing about noise ninja is it always seems to remove what it preceives as noise from things like cement or a persons jeans. Anyone know how to make it not do that?
It was the annual trek to Michigan. 10 days of tent camping. We visited Grand Haven a few times. This particular evening the waves and the light were putting on a show.
Driving home from work, the clouds on the coast dispersed as the night settled in- a wonderful opportunity to shoot at night. A waxing gibbous moon to my back gently lit this popular lighthouse as I exposed to capture the moving light beam. The grounds are pretty tight, so shooting this close at 20mm proved to be difficult while trying to prevent image distortion. Even so, I am really pleased with the results.

Paull Lighthouse was built in 1836 to guide ships from the port of Hull out into the Humber estuary. Designed by Francis Dales, it was built in the same year as Killingholme High and South Low Lighthouses.
The area of Paull is very low-lying. It is located on the northern bank of the River Humber, southeast of Hull. ...
The Lysefjord lighthouse is a landmark in the Lysefjord, a popular fjord in south-western Norway, known for its dramatic cliffs and iconic Preikestolen rock. The fjord itself is a 26 miles long waterway with vertical rock walls plunging over 1,100 yards into the water. The lighthouse, a beacon during the summer months, stands as a testament to the fjord's natural beauty and its importance as a tourist destination.
A few hundred meters up the road from my last shot, in the tiny coastal village of Gardur, lies the Gardskagi lighthouse. Two lighthouses sit on the peninsula, this being the smaller of the two. Built in 1897 it was regarded as one of the best lighthouses in Iceland because it stood low beneath the mist and fog. However, due to its shoreline location the ground under it began to erode leaving it unsafe to use. As a result it was decommissioned and the lamp section removed.
Conditions were relatively calm while we were there but you could imagine the ferocity of the storms that must lash this exposed section of coastline.
A new lighthouse, which is set back from the shoreline, was built in 1944. At 28 metres tall it is the highest lighthouse in Iceland (photo to follow later).

The Cape Florida Light is a lighthouse on Cape Florida at the south end of Key Biscayne in Miami-Dade County, Florida. It was built in 1825 and operated, with interruptions, until 1878, when it was replaced by the Fowey Rocks lighthouse. The lighthouse was put back into use in 1978. The lighthouse marked a reef four miles (6 km) (6 km or 7 km)off-shore, and still marks the Florida Channel, the deepest natural channel into Biscayne Bay. The construction contract called for a 65-foot-tall (20 m) tower with walls of solid brick, five feet thick at the bottom tapering to two feet thick at the top. It was later found that the contractor had scrimped on materials and built hollow walls. The first keeper of the lighthouse was Captain John Dubose, who served for more than ten years. In 1835 a major hurricane struck the island, damaging the lighthouse and the keeper's house, and putting the island under three feet of water

..not that I've had many of them...yet ; ) But today it's one month until our next exciting lighthouse holiday.
This picture is from our unforgettable Easter Holiday on Bjørnsund lighthouse in Romsdal, Norway last year. It was fantastic to be alone with nature a whole week.. We stayed in the house to the left.
This winter holiday we will go to Kråkenes lighthouse in Nordfjord, Norway. My 30th birthday present from my husband☺ I'm SO looking forward to see more of the coast of Sogn og Fjordane county ツ
I have more lighthouses here:

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to aid ships sailing along the rocky Northern California coast heading in to San Francisco Bay after a number of ships, most notably the Carrier Pigeon for which the lighthouse is named, sank on the shallow rocks just off shore. It is the tallest of the lighthouses in California and along the western cost of the United States standing at 115 feet (35 Meters). It's proximity to San Francisco, easy access from historic California Highway One and the remarkable scenery surrounding the Lighthouse makes it the most popular and picturesque lighthouse along the entire Pacific Coast. The first-order Fresnel lens which illuminated the New England style tower with 24 beams of light has currently been removed while the upper portion of the tower undergoes restoration. The lighthouse still functions with a smaller Coast Guard Beacon mounted on the exterior of the lighthouse.
Upon our arrival the entire area was covered in cloud when finally the sun broke from beneath the clouds at just the right angle to create a glow on the clouds above while still illuminating the lighthouse, rocks and breaking waves. The deep orange hues of the setting sun caused the red rock and fence to almost glow in red light. Yet there was still enough white light to bring out the blue waves below. This didn't last very long and scenery was constantly changing causing us to dash around the lighthouse to try and get the best angle on the ever-changing light. Days like these are hard to come by. The lighthouse is usually covered by fog or in stunningly clear
skies. But every so often, you get one of the most spectacular sunsets you will witness as the sun slips below the horizon of the Pacific.
No, those are not specks of dust to the right of the lighthouse, but seagulls and pelicans soaring high above the cliffs in a light ocean breeze. They show up nicely in the full 36Mpixel version. The green just below the lighthouse is actually ice plant that hangs from the rocky bluffs like
brilliant green and red curtains. I wish I could do more than just describe the soft smell of the salt air, the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below in order to make the scene inclusive.

Went down to St Mary’s lighthouse on Thursday as I knew the high tide would be around sunset and came back with some interesting shots, this one being one of my favourites.
