"A lighthouse is both an invitation and a warning. A lighthouse says Welcome home. But next to that, right after that, it also says Danger."
- Nathan Hill, The Nix
The Split Rock Lighthouse with beacon lit during the November 2008 commemoration of the 1975 wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
After a storm on Nov. 28, 1905 had damaged 29 ships, Congress authorized $70,000 to build a lighthouse and fog signal at Split Rock. The light station was completed in 1910.
The light was taken out of service in 1969 when modern navigation methods made it obsolete, but the beacon is lit once a year on November 10th to commemorate the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
The historic light station is one of Minnesota's most popular and iconic landmarks. It is located on the North Shore of Lake Superior on Minnesota Highway 61 (formerly US 61) about 40 miles north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.

for Macro Mondays. Inside my tea-strainer. Part of the bottom, on the right, and up one side on the left.
I was going to use this as a support for something else (tubes of paints) but as I was putting them in I looked it and thought, oh gosh, it's full of circles (they are tiny, almost pin-pricks) so held it up to the light and hey presto!
The crystalline arctic atmosphere created a circlular bow around the setting sun here at Alta Golf Club, high up in Norways Arctic Circle.
This was a sunset shot taken looking down, what would normally be the 1st Fairway at the Golf Club. We were actually here to go Dog Sledding with teams of Husky's and had a great time being effortlessly swept around the terrain down to a distant frozen lake before taking in the Northern Lights later in the day!
A heavy spatula and some bokeh balls. The image covers 65mm on diagonal. Happy Macro Monday. I welcome any comments pro or con.

This is a 1cm diameter button sitting on a piece of rippled glass with some very fine fairy lights below that have created the strange background shapes. No photoshop involved, just cropped to be square.
An old image, captured in Berkeley, California, in June 2015. Captured with a Tamron 90mm F2.8 Macro lens. (BBB4159)
As we waited for the sun to rise these galahs were circling the lighthouse for a very long time and very noisy!

- Primary colors (or primary colours) are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range of colors. The primary colors are those which cannot be created by mixing other colors in a given color space.
For subtractive combination of colors, as in mixing of pigments or dyes for printing, the primaries normally used are cyan, magenta, and yellow, though the set of red, yellow, blue is popular among artists.
Staying with the metal object on black background, I found this in my wife's tack box and seemed like a good candidate for a macro image. Shot with my studio set-up, ambient light and my Nikon macro lens. I shot a 13 image focus stack to make sure I got the depth I wanted across the ring and some of the leather strapping. The outer diameter of the ring measures 1 1/2 inch.
