Marrowstone Island, Washington; the active light is on top of a post mounted on the roof of the square fog signal building, in the left-center of the photo. The structure on the left was the former location of the light, built in 1902. The former keeper's house was built in 1896 and is now used as a U.S. Geological Survey station.
Point Clark Light is one of six “Imperial Towers” constructed around Georgian Bay and the Bruce Peninsula by John Brown in the early 1850’s. All six towers still stand.
Built between 1855 and 1857, the Point Clark light is the only Imperial Tower located on the mainland, and therefore accessible by vehicle. The 90-foot high limestone tower warns mariners of a dangerous shoal which lies a few miles off shore. The tower is topped by a 12-sided lantern framed in cast iron.
The light has been proclaimed a Canadian National Historic Site, and continues as an active aid to navigation.
The keeper’s dwelling and garage also survive. The keeper’s dwelling has been turned into a maritime museum owned by the Canadian Parks Service and operated by Huron Township.

Peinture: "Nu assis à la chemise", Amedeo Modigliani (1917)
"Il y voyait bien davantage encore que le portrait sublime d'une femme dont il connaissait la peau, les cuisses, les hanches, les joues pourpres et la bouche incarnat. Il y voyait ce qu'elle ne lui apporterait plus, ce qu'aucune ne lui offrirait plus, évidemment pas la caresse amoureuse, mais cette richesse intense, l'absolue complicité qui lie le peintre à son modèle. [...] Comme si Chloé posant pour Modigliani, lui avait donné quelque chose qu'il avait connu naguère et qu'il ne percevait plus. Il regardait cette toile comme il voyait le monde, et il voyait le monde comme s'il avait les yeux crevés."
>>> Dan Franck.......in: Nu couché (1998)
"He saw in it much more than the sublime portrait of a woman whose skin, thighs, hips, crimson cheeks and incarnate mouth he knew. He saw in it what she would never give him again, what no woman would ever offer him again, obviously not the caress of love, but that intense richness, the absolute complicity that binds the painter to his model. [...] It was as if Chloé, posing for Modigliani, had given him something he had once known but no longer perceived. He looked at this canvas as he saw the world, and he saw the world as if his eyes were gouged out."

next trip to California will surely include this beautiful spot, which happens to be my favorite place in California. This photo was taken in 2012.
It really should be called "Point DOOM!" with the exclamation mark.
Took myself shooting all the way from Huntington Beach to Malibu. It was a nice drive and had to be thankful for a full tank of gas.
I'm starting to like playing with water in Lightroom 5. Its an awesome program for photo developing.
Definitely not happy about the weather at West Point circa 1990. I was going to try to use this for a Bershon thing (I saw it on Mirka's photos) but I don't know if I look old enough or cool enough. I think the giant polka dot raincoat my negate the whole thing. I think I look too much like I am either going to crack into a smile or burst into tears?

Very seldom do I decide to leave an image alone except for a few minor adjustments. I liked the subtle feel to the image as well as the subtle color. I don't know the name of the plant, so anyone with that knowledge, please speak up.
Dan and I took a road trip to parts of Northern California and parts of Oregon.
We visited the Point Arena Lighthouse. This was on my list of places to see.
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. Pigeon Point Light Station is located on the coastal highway, 5 miles south of Pescadero, California, between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. The 115-foot, white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure. Because of its location and ready access from the main highway, Pigeon Point entertains many public visitors.
Small Romanian Point Lace ornament, about 3.5". When it is washed and stiffened, it could be hung on a Christmas tree. The braids are ecru #20 Cebelia, and the fillings are #30.
I visited in hope and it was realised. These 3 species joined my @22 folder for species/races taken this year.
The promise of clear skies and an early morning moonrise saw me head out to The Avenue with the hope of getting a few star trail images. Sadly despite having so many great monuments around the countryside we are plagued with light pollution. Swindon, Salisbury, Marlborough, Calne and Bath have us surrounded and fill the night sky with the orange glow from their sodium street lights.
I contented myself with a view across The Avenue with the point of one of the great marker stones pointing up towards Jupiter (the bright star) and no star trails.
The slight orange glow in this image is a combination of the bright lights of Bath some 22 miles away and Melksham about 10 miles away.
A 20 sec exposure - Canon 24mm TS-E lens at F3.5, ISO 800, was a little too long to capture all the stars sharply, the ones on the left of the image have slight trails. I am quite pleased with the light painting of the foreground though.
