Per "A History of the Sheringham Point Lighthouse," there have been more than 240 shipwrecks along the Vancouver Island coast since 1803. In 1906, the steamship SS Valencia hit a reef on the southwestern part of the island and sank. Only 37 of the 173 passengers aboard survived. In response to formal inquiries, Canada decided to build 12 more lighthouses in the area, including one at Sheringham Point in 1912. This is a Canadian "Heritage Lighthouse."

8:11 pm, waiting for the sunset I decided this image in black & white [Fuji switched to monochrome +R] may be something a little different for later viewing.

The charming Pigeon Point Light Station or Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation.

I never thought much about rodeos until I went to one and had a chance to shoot it. I came to appreciate an entire culture and way of life I knew nothing about, and a contest of man vs animal that has been played out for many generations. This is a bull rider, generally accepted as the craziest of them all, less than half a second into what he hopes will be his 8 second ride. The bull, for his part, hopes to see to it that he does not make the 8 second mark. His opening moves are strong. We’ll see who gets his way. Eight seconds is a long time on a bull.
For my offering for Super Saturated Sunday today I thought I would take an innocuous, unprepossessing photograph (of which I have a vast collection) and quickly turn it into some lurid faux Modern Art that might vaguely emulate the kind you see for sale in galleries for tens of thousands of pounds.
This is a picture of bubbles in the frozen water in a broken mug in my garden taken at the end of December. (For a more normal version of another image taken at the same time see flic.kr/p/2kpGhPy ).
It was developed and processed in Affinity Photo, but the fancy stuff done using Nik Color Efex. The bulk of the effect was due to solarisation combined with a bi-colour filter to create more of a colour gradient across the image, a technique I have used often for this sort of overcooked colour from nothing approach.
A total stack of eight or nine filters was used (it was playtime after all) with some contribution from things like glows and soft focus, selective contrast and graduated ND filter effects. (If you’d like the preset I made from this do ask :) ).
So that was the first twenty minutes dealt with so what should I do with the rest?
Well, I decided to extend the gallery metaphor and make the work look a bit as if it had been hung on a wall. I combined broad frame with directional drop shadow and embossing and then used the Lighting filter to add three spotlights pointing downward as if had been lit from above. I also used the same filter to add a textured, impasto element to the painting and give it some relief.
So there we are. You know where to send those five-figure cheques, don’t you?
I’ll add a link to the in-camera original so you can see where we came from.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you are wearing your sunglasses. Happy Sliders Sunday!! :)
Finally on the Move after an hour of waiting on MOW, LG1 cooks into West Point just beginning its trip to the mine.
Idaho's Initial Point is a volcanic butte rising from the western Snake River Plain. Beginning on April 19, 1867, surveyors mapped the entire state starting from this butte. Every piece of land in the state is referenced by its direction and distance from a brass survey marker located on top of the butte.

This was the magnificent view that greeted us at Bryce Canyon upon our arrival, close to sunset. This is from Sunrise Point.
Point Reyes Lighthouse, standing tall against California's rugged coastline. With its classic white and red stripes, it contrasts with the stormy sky. Surrounded by lush greenery and wildflowers, a winding path leads to the lighthouse, hinting at a challenging journey. The vast Pacific Ocean stretches into the horizon, emphasizing the lighthouse's role as a guiding beacon. The scene evokes a sense of isolation and natural beauty, with mist adding mystery and adventure. Steps leading down to the lighthouse add depth and perspective.

Rattlesnake Point receives its name from the snake-like path cut by glaciers along the edges of the Niagara Escarpment, rather than from the Massassauga Rattlesnake. It is one of the most scenic areas between Toronto and Hamilton, with old cedars, limestone cliffs, beautiful caves, and hiking trails. It is a United Nations Biosphere-protected area.
