Portland Bill Lighthouse is a functioning lighthouse on the Isle of Portland, Dorset, England. The lighthouse is located at the very south of the island, warning coastal traffic off of Portland Bill. The lighthouse and its boundary walls are Grade II Listed and have been since May 1993.
As Portland's largest and most recent lighthouse, the Trinity House operated Portland Bill Lighthouse is distinctively white and red striped, standing at a height of 41 metres (135 ft). The tower is approximately 114 feet. The lighthouse was completed by 1906 and first shone out on 11 January 1906.
Both Portland Bill and Chesil Beach are the locations of many wrecks of vessels that failed to reach Weymouth or Portland Roads. Portland Bill Lighthouse guides vessels heading for Portland and Weymouth through these hazardous waters as well as acting as a waymark for ships navigating the English Channel.
Oh, what a beautiful beast! I knocked on that mighty bumper. It was like striking a cast-iron radiator.
If only I had a garage to shelter her from the elements. Well, since it probably lacks seat belts, I wouldn't want to risk driving it anyway. So there!

"Here’s a nice little Buick Sedanette, wonderfully restored to factory stock! It draws its power from a 248ci Straight Eight engine with a Dynaflow automatic transmission. It’s nicely finished in the original color of Niagara Green and has a nicely stitched Gray cloth upholstery. The chrome and stainless is in very good condition throughout, especially the grill that’s so impressive on these cars. This is nice, smooth driver and runs excellent."

The Lighthouse stands out at Portland Bill. I love it out there. If the wind is blowing? It blows away the cobwebs!!
We're well into fog season here in Portland, so I thought I'd post up a panorama I took on the East Bank Esplanade a couple years ago. It's a little tricky shooting panos from this dock, and I had to throw out a few frames that were a bit soft because of the dock's movement, but luckily I had taken a few additional sharp shots.
Technical details: 6 photos at 16mm, f/9, 6s, ISO 100, Canon 6D and 16-35 f/4L.
Thanks for taking a look!
I did this the other morning, I used 3 Nd grad filters to stop the sun, I still had to remove a lot of flare processing, but I think it has come out okay
Believe it or not, this is the first non HDR pic I've posted to flickr since Summer 09'. I've been trying to broaden my horizons a bit, and take some different kinds of photos. A couple nights ago I was an event photographer at this huge beach party in Victoria. Lots of fun!
