I just got back from a weeks vacation in Corolla on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Had a great time with some of my brothers and sisters.
I was able to break away a few times to take some photos. This was taken along a nature trail that ran along the shores of Currituck Sound. There were several nesting platforms for the Osprey to use along the trail. I just wish I had found this earlier than Friday.
Currituck Beach Lighthouse
Corolla, North Carolina
This is the northernmost of three major lighthouses on the Outer Banks of North Carolina; the others are Bodie Island and Cape Hatteras. Unlike the other two, the tower of Currituck Beach lighthouse is the natural color of the red-orange bricks, which I quite like -- particularly in warm sunlight. All three lighthouses were among the many venues of the Outer Banks Photography Workshop (Randall Sanger Photography & John Deas Photography).
Currituck Beach Lighthouse was begun in 1873 and its first-order Fresnel len was first lit December 1, 1875. The tower includes about one million bricks, it's walls tapering from about 5.5 feet thick at base to about 3 feet thick at top. It is about 150 feet to the top of the brick tower and 162 feet to the top of the lantern room, with a 158 foot focal plane. There are 214 stairs to the catwalk below the lantern room; I made the climb three years ago (photos in North Carolina album), but not this time. Still an active U.S. Coast Guard aid to navigation, the lighthouse has been automated; its grounds are now owned by Outer Banks Conservationists; the nonprofit organization spent about $1.5 million over three decades to restore the lighthouse complex, including two keepers' houses. Currituck Beach Lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 (73001333); boundary increases in 2000 changed the listing to Currituck Beach Lighthouse Complex.

We got a good view looking across the St. Joseph River from the south pier to the north pier's outer light. The view of this light had been blocked by the pier's inner light when we were over on that side. The outer light had a lot more ice. Somebody was taking pictures of it with a drone. I'm probably on somebody's drone footage.

Heunginjimun Gate was built to protect Hanseongbu, which historically housed important government facilities. Heunginjimun Gate was the gate on the east side of the outer wall of Seoul Fortress among eight gates. It is referred to as Dongdaemun Gate as well. The gate was constructed during King Taejo’s 5th year in 1396, remodeled during the reign of King Danjong in 1453 and was newly built in 1869 during the sixth year of King Gojong’s reign in 1869.

Some said Monet painted Roen Cathedral at every hour of the day and went from canvas to canvas as the light changed throughout each day to finish his flat pale low contrast depictions all the way through to deep Sun rich yellows into burnt evening reds and ambers. He did paint the Cathedral again and again his pictures portraying the different light upon the same scene. The light brought out detail and it shaded sections, colour changed and it in turn changed the character of the same stone structure. Light gave an atmospheric change that altered the emotive response from the painter and from the viewer.
Artists creating their picture on site outdoors is often termed, “En plein air,” for outdoor painting, but Monet in capturing Sunlight created pictures, “plein soleil,” full Sun images giving acknowledgement to the elemental power within the creation process. Monet from a perspective of the time had in the Cathedral a constant a structure venerated and regulated that held impressions of permanence and a rock steady stone construction exhibiting the finest reverence to God the generator and creative centre of life. The Sun striking and shading, colouring and clouding on the same surface created many impressions, some of which Monet sought to reveal in his works that in turn were mirrors of God’s work. He is said to have made more than Thirty full representations of Roen Cathedral working similar scenes in the different light available over his time there. Twenty of his works from Roen were exhibited together and some of the pictures have been collected together again for exhibitions and now through art in books and online we can see his many images brought together appreciated beside one another.
The light and shadow at Megalithic Monument is a part of the structure. Beyond the flat base levelled in construction of site there is the horizon and the surrounds that determine the position of the structure. The stones chosen and carefully sited create the frame for a tapestry to be woven in light and shadow that creates a physical pattern all around and within the hallow. Several Megalithic Monuments have had their central stones destroyed as these stones created shadow conceptions from the central stone to the waiting encircled stones. The central shadow casting stones in their shadow created an alignment not unlike a sundial and the Megalithic Monuments produced a sign that it was the time for holidays and feasts that were a part of the older calendar fixed on Solar Cycle.

Stars: always making a dramatic exit!
Webb’s powerful infrared eye has captured never-before-seen detail of Cassiopeia A (Cas A), the remnant of a massive star that exploded about 340 years ago - from our perspective here on Earth. (Despite being 11,000 light-years away, this supernova may have been visible to the naked eye when it took place, something that has not been seen in our galaxy since.)
Let’s dissect the image: The left side of the image (shown in orange) marks where ejected material from the exploded star is ramming into surrounding gas and dust. Within that outer shell is material from the star itself, including elements like oxygen, argon and neon. What’s that green loop on the right? Scientists are still puzzling out its unexpected shape and complexity.
As the youngest known remnant from an exploded, massive star in our galaxy, Cas A offers unique clues into a star’s death. By studying Cas A, Webb astronomers may also learn more about the origins and production of cosmic dust — which forms the elements we’re made of.

Image description: A roughly square image is rotated clockwise about 45 degrees, with solid black in the corners. Within the image is a roughly circular nebula with complex structure. On the circle’s exterior, particularly at the top and left, lie curtains of material glowing orange. Interior to this outer shell lies a ring of mottled filaments of bright pink studded with clumps and knots. At center right, a greenish loop extends from the right side of the ring into the central cavity. Translucent wisps of blue, green and red are throughout the image.
Note: this image is presented in this orientation to match other telescope's images of this object for easier comparison.

Jellyfish. Outer Bay exhibit. I have too many photos of these. I'll try to cull them down to a just below monotonous amount. Although, this one sums up the experience pretty well.
You all helped to eventually pull this shot into Explore for 6/22/07. Thanks everyone.
I was sitting on the deck of our cottage when I took this; I never did see the little girl's face as she was so absorbed with the sea and didn't turn around or in my direction. One of my most favorite shots ever. Taken with my beloved Pentax K1000
Alone in the moonlight
Heading for nowhere
Gone is the solar glare
Don't follow me here tonight
Unafraid
Every mile
You fade
There are no delays
I wont look back
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away
Oh so quiet here
Caught in the milky way
Bound by the cosmic ray
I could just disappear
Time will slow
No more earth below
Another day to go
I wont look back
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away
Needing to find my place
Something just feels wrong
Knowing I don't belong
Escaping to outer space
Run away, far away
Run away, fly away
Freezepop- 'Outer Space'
