You might conclude that I've gone beserk with the colour sliders.
But No.
The low low tide exposed all the normally covered reef and sandbar.
The intense green in the sunlight caught my attention.
A few of my pure graphite sticks, with a sneak peek of a pencil 😊
I love 'painting' with just carbon ... from pure carbon (charcoal) through pure graphite to pencils, which are softer as the graphite is mixed with some clay. You can get tones from the lightest bright dusting, to the pure light-absorbing charcoal ...more subtle than anything I can get with a camera!
This shot fills the whole 3" width.
For the Macro Monday challenge "carbon"
HMM! 😊

The Alki Point Light is an active aid to navigation located on Puget Sound's Alki Point, the southern entrance to Seattle's Elliott Bay, King County, Washington. It is listed as Alki Point Light number 16915 in the USCG light lists.
The first, unofficial, light established at Alki Point was a kerosene lantern said to have been hung on the side of a barn in the 1870s by farmer and property owner Hans Martin Hanson. In 1887, the United States Lighthouse Board recognized the need for an official light and placed a lens-lantern atop a wooden post at the point. As Hanson remained the property's owner, he was assigned to be lightkeeper at a salary of $15 per month.
Hanson's son Edmund sold the point to the government in 1910. By 1913, the present structure comprising a 37-foot (11 m) octagonal brick tower with lantern and gallery, attached to a
1-story brick fog signal building, was complete. It is the twin of Point Robinson Lighthouse on Maury Island, built two years later.
The tower held a fourth order Fresnel lens that was visible at no less than 12 miles (19 km). Other site improvements included two residences for the lighthouse keepers. In 1962, the original Fresnel lens was replaced by a modern optic device (VRB-25 aerobeacon). The station was automated in 1984. Following modernization, the principal keeper's quarters became the home of the Commander of the Thirteenth Coast Guard District.
The active light station remains in the hands of the U.S. Coast Guard. Tours are periodically offered by the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Ja, das ist er, der letzte Blick in die Berge. Mein eigentliches, das Grasköpfl, das wäre noch weiter, irgendwo da rechts oben, aber, wie gesagt, dem Hang rechts vor mir, dem habe ich nicht recht getraut. Was ich erreichen wollte, das habe ich erreicht: Sonne, frische Luft, eine Auszeit vom anstrengenden Verwandtschaftsbesuch 😉, ein wenig Sport, ein klein wenig Abenteuer und so manch schönes Foto.
Im Hintergrund, etwa in Bildmitte, das ist der Schafreuter, auch Schafreiter genannt (2.102 m).

Well, how would you look at Osborne House, the private residence Victoria and Albert had built for themselves around 1850 and in Italianate style on the Isle of Wight? A place of calm where they would recover from the strenuous business of being Queen and representing the royal and quite imperial first family of what then was a world power. I find the boar, this symbol of wilderness and ferociousness (the pig, profoundly unacceptable in some traditions), quite adequate. After all, imperial rule and colonialism were brutal in essence. But then, you would perhaps expect me to say this because I am an old republican. In this matter, one can have many points of view. Fuji X100F.

This lighthouse sits on the dunes of Lake Michigan on the northwestern shore of Michigan's lower peninsula.
I have finally found a technique, i.e., a series of steps, in Photoshop CC that simulates, or at least comes close to, the Orton Effect. I feel Michael Orton was right in that this effect is the best way to bring out the raw beauty in some scenes. In this instance I have even added an extra blue vignette to the upper corners.
Bulb long exposure taken at sunset this past winter. Looking forward to more of these skies along the river and maybe some shots with a little snow too ;)
We are visiting the south rim of the Grand Canyon now where the elevation is about 7,500 feet. So it is cold. We went out last night to Mather Point for sunset. We'd had heavy clouds and snow flurries earlier in the day but the clouds broke as sunset neared. Sadly the wind was so fierce that the cold chased us off as we were not dressed warmly enough.
Just back from a few days in Wales with a few photographer friends. Weather wasnt all that, but the company was good and the location is always worth it. Ended up at this spot by mistake thanks to a bad steer by Matt Dartford directing me to the wrong lighthouse
I made the spontaneous decision to go after Norfolk Southern V24 after work one morning. Since NS rearranged the deck chairs in Virginia the job got advertised as a morning run. The train is pulling into West Point Yard past their largest customer, WestRock with SD40-2 #3256 and GP38-2 #5824 Southern Style on the old Southern. The mill receives chemicals and met coal as well, but is only getting 17 empty TBOXes on the warm August morning.
Ruthton Point is a cape on the Columbia River and is located just west of Hood River, Oregon in the Columbia River Gorge

Approaching dusk, the Laurel-Bozeman is tackling the pass with help from a helper set on the point of the decently-sized train.

Pacific Grove -California
Point Pinos Lighthouse ist der zweitälteste und zugleich der am längsten dauerhaft in Betrieb befindliche Leuchtturm an der kalifornischen Pazifikküste. Das bei Pacific Grove gelegene Schifffahrtszeichen wurde im Februar 1855 in Betrieb genommen und dient seither als Navigationshilfe am südlichen und durch seine Felsen besonders gefährlichen Eingang der Bucht von Monterey.
Point Pinos Lighthouse was lit on February 1, 1855, to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States and even the lens is original.
