I find myself drawn more and more to simple images with minimal content.
Sometime you just need to declutter and get back to basics.
I get a nice feeling of serenity when I spend time with this image and I hope it does something good for you too.
At Battery Point, Crescent City, CA Battery Point Light is a lighthouse in Crescent City, California, United States. It is registered as a California Historical Landmark,[4] and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as "Crescent City Lighthouse".[3]
History
Battery Point Light was one of the first lighthouses on the California coast. Rugged mountains and unbridged rivers meant coastal travel was essential for the economic survival of this region. In 1855, Congress appropriated $15,000 for the construction of a lighthouse on the tiny islet, which is connected to Battery Point by an isthmus which is visible and can be traversed on foot at low tide. Although not included in the 1852 contract by the United States Lighthouse Service for the first eight west coast lighthouses, the Battery Point Lighthouse was actually lit ten days before the Humboldt Harbor Lighthouse, the last of the original eight to become operational. The fourth-order Fresnel lens was lit in 1856. The lighthouse was automated in 1953, and a modern 14.8-inch (375 mm) lens replaced the fourth-order Fresnel lens. Theophilis Magruder was the station's first keeper; Wayne Piland was its last before automation in 1953. The 1964 Alaska earthquake, the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the northern hemisphere, caused a tsunami. The lighthouse survived. In the following year, the modern beacon that replaced the Fresnel lens in the tower was switched off, and a flashing light at the end of the nearby breakwater served as the harbor's navigational aid. In 1982, the light in the lighthouse tower was lit again, and the Battery Point Lighthouse was listed as a private aid to navigation.
From time to time I've visited some of my older photos. This is one of the gems, which I think most of people haven't seen.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I!
This little buoy was found hanging out in the waters of Vesijärvi.

Is This Photography? (blog)
Fine Art Long Exposure Monochrome/Black and White.Ghost Buoy/Marker bobbing about on the horizon as nature takes over once again by the tide engulfing all within its path.
Colourful buoys seen on the side of an abandoned boat left to decay.The once attractive blue of the boat's hull, now discoloured ,the peeling paint, the rust eating into this once proud vessel. Yet the grimy and dirty coloured buoys caught my photographic eye.

The buoys mark the River channel leading to the St Augustine Inlet to the Atlantic Ocean.
The buoys for navigation have such a varied appearance. Sometimes they appear as bizarre as in this case.
Die Bojen für die Schifffahrt haben solch unterschiedliches Aussehen. Manchmal erscheinen sie so bizarr wie in diesem Fall.
