Prospect Cottage, built in 1900, was home to Derek Jarman (1942-94), the radical film director, cinematographer, stage designer, diarist, painter, gardener, author and gay rights activist. He moved here in 1986 when he was seriously ill and knew that time was not on his side.
Among Jarman’s films were Sebastiane, The Tempest, War Requiem and Caravaggio; the actors who worked for him included Laurence Olivier (in his last film appearance), Judi Dench, Sean Bean, Robbie Coltrane, Toya Wilcox and Tilda Swinton.
At Dungeness, Jarman moved into his unassuming wooden cottage (which he desribed as 'a beaut, a gem') and set about creating his shingle garden, largely by collecting and arranging flotsam washed up onto the beach in front of the house. He made sculptures from stones and he introduced salt-tolerant beach plants, all to great effect. Today, the cottage and garden are much as he left them.
Prospect is a Canadian coastal community on the Chebucto Peninsula in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality.
It borders the Atlantic Ocean approximately 23 kilometers southwest of Halifax off the Prospect Bay Road.

Prospect Lake, Memorial Park, Colorado Springs, CO - Certainly one of the most colorful entries in the festival, its reflection is stunning. I'm making a bit of a guess on the identification of this balloon as this family seems to have two identical (nearly?) hot air balloons:
Dave and Jessica Bair

"Second Chance"
or
Ray and Carol Bair
Albuquerque, NM
"Kaleidoscope"

One of those Lighthouses in Maine you really need to look for while driving through Maine.
The small village of Prospect Harbor developed a substantial fishing fleet in the nineteenth century. The first lighthouse to mark the east side of the harbor entrance was built in 1850. The light was deactivated between 1859 and 1870, because "the harbor is not used as a harbor of refuge, and the village near which it is situated has only a small coasting trade." Evidently, the use of the harbor increased, as in 1870 the Lighthouse Board announced that the light was reactivated on May 15 "to serve as a guide to the harbor of refuge which it marks."
The original granite lighthouse attached to the keeper's house was replaced in 1891 by the present 38-foot wood lighthouse with a fifth order Fresnel lens, and a new 1 1/2 story farmhouse-style keeper's house. The house and tower were at first attached by a covered passageway, but the passageway was later removed. A stone oil house was added in 1905, and for a time the station had an active fog bell.
The light was automated in 1934, but a keeper (John Workman) remained at the station until 1953. In 1951 the Fresnel lens was replaced.
The light remains an active aid to navigation, while the surrounding grounds and buildings belong to the U.S. Navy; the lighthouse is on the grounds of a Navy installation.

Our Daily Challenge ... busy streets.
It's not so busy at this time in the evening (about 7.00) but it is one of the two bridges we need to cross to get into the shopping centre, so at peak hour it has a steady stream of traffic. At this time of day there are several others ... like myself ... out for an bike ride in the cool of the evening.
