Yes I am getting all spiritual again, great innit?! I was in Potsdam and headed to a small forest I knew about, the Sun was at a particular point in the Sky which at first I didn't notice, when I took the shot of what I thought was going to be a basic and/or mundane pathway shot through a small forest, I reviewed it and noticed this fantastic Sun-glare, when I took just one step backward and took another shot, the Sun-glare was gone, when I took two steps forward and took the shot, it was gone again, so when returning to the exact spot and again taking a further shot, the Sun Glare was there, it was a chance in a million to get it at such a finely tuned, acute angle of the Sun through this tiny gap in the trees, which had I'd been one foot further I would've missed it completely.

 

The fact the glare line cuts right through the path, it had an Angelical feel about it, as in, this is the way dear boy.

 

I hope everyone is holding up well, and so as always, thank you! :)

The buoys for navigation have such a varied appearance. Sometimes they appear as bizarre as in this case.

Assateague Lighthouse, 142-foot-tall (43 m), is on the southern end of Assateague Island in Virginia portion.

 

Located within the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge owned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and operated by the U.S. Coast Guard and is still used as an active aid in navigation.

 

The original lighthouse was constructed in 1833 at a cost of ~ $55,000. In 1860, construction on a taller, more powerfully illuminated brick lighthouse began, but was delayed by the Civil War. After the war, work resumed and the lighthouse was completed in 1867.

 

The lighthouse is conical in shape and is painted in alternating bands of red and white.

 

A $1.5 million renovation was completed in October 2013.

Panorama of the Danube just downstream of Melk, Lower Austria The Schönbühel Castle is in the frame as well as the big rocks in the Danube just in front of it.

Without water

these waves

stand silent.

The bell and howl

of sound

on cold, cold ground

the echo of

crow calls on

canyon walls

breach the most deaf

ear

that hasn't heard

anything except

tinnitus

for years.

Try and find

your way out of

here

by following her

voice

croaking

coughing

cautioning

calling

cacophonous

from some unknown

place.

Or

just follow

a vein

with no small

remnant of

rivulet

or stream

until it opens

to the sea.

With currents,

you see,

gain is always

greater than loss

in trying to reach

an end.
