Photographing the Split Rock Lighthouse in the fall is a mesmerizing experience. As the vibrant autumn leaves paint the landscape in hues of gold, red, and orange, the lighthouse stands as a majestic sentinel overlooking Lake Superior. The crisp, cool air and the clear, serene waters provide the perfect backdrop for capturing the timeless beauty of this iconic landmark. This photo illustrates the dramatic sunset illuminating the sky and casting of an orange tone on the clouds crossing at an opposite diagonal. Fall is undoubtedly one of the most enchanting seasons to explore and photograph the Split Rock Lighthouse. This photo was inspired from Greg Lundgren's Split Rock Lighthouse Reflection. If you like the image, then check out the back story Split Rock Lighthouse Reflection. Note: This is best viewed on a HDR monitor.
The Split Rock Lighthouse was erected in the early 20th century as the result of a terrible storm that devastated around 30 ships.
The lighthouse and grounds are open to the public via a fee through the Minnesota Historical Society. During the fall, the views of the lighthouse heading east on Highway-61 were quite spectacular - even on this blustery late afternoon!
Om maar gelijk met mijn wenssoort te beginnen. Het is niet de beste kwaliteit foto maar zo'n beetje de enige fatsoenlijke van de scharrelaar. Wij waren eerder in Hongarije dan de scharrelaar :-) . Het was een bewolkte ochtend en ontiegelijk vroeg toen we in een torenhut plaats namen, we hadden geen hoop eigenlijk want het weer is daar net zo wisselvallig geweest als hier. Vanachter het glas fotograferen heeft mijn voorkeuze ook al niet vanwege het licht wat ik mis met de powershot. Stom toevallig keek ik naar links,een onmogelijke hoek en daar zag ik hem. Camera van statief gehaald en schuin door het glas dit resultaat behaald. Maar boy ooooh boy wat ging ons hart tekeer bij het zien van deze prachtige vogel. Later waren ze samen maar het licht was uit en ze vlogen af en aan op zoek naar nest mogelijkheden. We hebben genoten,met volle teugen en om 11 uur brak het noodweer los met harde regen en onweer. Ik met hoogtevrees in een torenhut tijdens onweer waar ik ook niet dol op ben was ook een "hoogtepuntje" . Maar dit pakt niemand ons meer af. Ik ga sparen voor een volgende keer en dan ietsjes later in de maand.

Beautiful Hwy 61 along the shores of Lake Superior is home to many lighthouses including Split Rock Lighthouse. The LH sits atop a 130 foot cliff. The official range of the light is 22 miles. Today the LH is not a working LH but a state park and beautiful museum run by the Minnesota Historical Society.
(could have used a nice landscape lens here but all we brought were the zoom lenses!)

Split ist die zweitgrößte Stadt Kroatiens. Sie ist die größte Stadt Südkroatiens und gilt daher im Volksmund als „Hauptstadt Dalmatiens“,
Die Keimzelle der heutigen Stadt Split ist der Diokletianspalast: Kaiser Diokletian ließ ihn um 300 erbauen.
Spätestens ab dem Frieden von Aachen (812) war Spalatum Teil des byzantinischen Themas von Dalmatien.[4] Slawische Fürstentümer entstanden im Hinterland.
Als die Republik Venedig unter dem Dogen Pietro II. Orseolo ihre Macht auf die romanischen Restgebiete auszudehnen begann, aus denen Byzanz sich zurückgezogen hatte, akzeptierte Spalatum – wie andere dalmatinische Städte und Inseln – die venezianische Oberhoheit.[5] Das trug dem Dogen den zusätzlichen Titel Dux Dalmatiae (Doge/Herzog von Dalmatien) ein.[5]
Im Zuge des Fünften Osmanisch-Venezianischen Krieges (um Zypern) fielen 1571 mit Solin und Kamen (Sasso di Spalato) Teile des Landgebietes der Stadt an die Türken.
Mit der sukzessiven Zurückdrängung der Osmanen im frühen 18. Jahrhundert rückte die Bedrohung auch territorial weit von Spalatos Landgebiet. Die Stadtbevölkerung wuchs, und die Zugereisten aus dem Hinterland verbreiteten das Kroatische als Umgangssprache, auch gefördert durch die Illyrische Akademie.[28]
Die Stadt wurde von den Partisanen im Jahr 1944 befreit, und wurde als Republik Kroatien in dem Nachkriegsbund Jugoslawien aufgenommen,. Im Jahr 1991 trennte sich Kroatien aus Jugoslawien nach dem kroatischen Unabhängigkeitskriege.
Split (Croatian pronunciation: [splît]; Italian: Spalato, see Name section) is the second-largest city of Croatia and the largest city of the region of Dalmatia. It lies on the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea, centred on the Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian. Spread over a central peninsula and its surroundings, Split's greater area includes the neighboring seaside towns as well. An intraregional transport hub and popular tourist destination, the city is a link to numerous Adriatic islands and the Apennine peninsula.
Split is one of the oldest cities in the area. While it is traditionally considered just over 1,700 years old counting from the construction of Diocletian's Palace in 305 CE, archaeological research relating to the original founding of the city as the Greek colony of Aspálathos (Aσπάλαθος) in the 4th century BCE establishes the urban history of the area as being several centuries older.
Split became a Byzantine city, to later gradually drift into the sphere of the Byzantine vassal, the Republic of Venice, and the Croatian Kingdom, with the Byzantines retaining nominal suzerainty. For much of the High and Late Middle Ages, Split enjoyed autonomy as a free city, caught in the middle of a struggle between Venice and the king of Hungary for control over the Dalmatian cities.
Venice eventually prevailed and during the early modern period Split remained a Venetian city, a heavily fortified outpost surrounded by Ottoman territory. Eventually, its hinterland was won from the Ottomans in the Morean War of 1699, and in 1796, as Venice fell to Napoleon, the Treaty of Campo Formio rendered the city to the Habsburg Monarchy. In 1805, the Peace of Pressburg added it to the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy, and in 1809, after the Treaty of Schönbrunn, it was included directly in the French Empire, as part of the Illyrian Provinces. After Napoleon's defeat in 1814, it was eventually granted to the Austrian Empire, where the city remained a part of the Austrian Kingdom of Dalmatia until the fall of Austria-Hungary in 1918 and the formation of Yugoslavia.
The city was liberated again by the Partisans in 1944, and was included in the post-war Federal Yugoslavia, as part of its republic of Croatia. In 1991 Croatia seceded from Yugoslavia amid the Croatian War of Independence.

Winter in Geretsried - wie in alten Zeiten werden Nebenstraßen nur mit Split gestreut, nicht mit Salz - gut für die Umwelt!
Nicht ausrutschen soll Margret (flickerl), die heute Geburtstag hat! Alles Gute und viel Sonnenschein!

Split Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located in Aireys Inlet, a small town on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia..
.
Originally called Eagles Nest Point, the lighthouse was constructed in 1891. It was converted to automatic operation in 1919..
.
The original British-made first order Fresnel lens is still in use. However, the factory in Birmingham, where the lens was built, was bombed during war-time and the essential formula for making the unique lens crystal were lost, should a replacement ever be needed..
.
A Japanese firm, consulted by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, estimated the cost of replacing the lens at more than A$1 million..
.
Under standard Australian lighthouse convention, red filters would usually be placed to the extreme left and right of the beam (indicating "danger zones" for a passing ship, in-line with the jagged coastline). For reasons unknown, the Split Point Lighthouse operated for many years under the opposite system; although this has now been corrected. Split point lighthouse has 132 stairs from bottom to top and is 34 metres tall.
