Point Wilson Lighthouse is in Fort Worden State Park, near Port Townsend in Washington State.
I am posting this image for my friend, Rich, who's been "urging" me to post it for almost a month now. Finally he posted his version of it from his recent visit to the lighthouse as a nudge, so I can't hold out any longer :) See Rich's version of the lighthouse here: www.flickr.com/photos/116895768@N03/29731015573/in/datepo.... And while you're at it, take a look at his photostream. He's an awesome photographer!
A Ruined House
Those Who Lived Here Are Gone
Or Dead Or Desolate With Grief;
Of All Their Life Here
Nothing Remains
Except Their Trampled, Dirtied Clothes
Among The Dusty Bricks,
Their Marriage Bed, Rusty And Bent,
Thrown Down Aside As Useless;
And A Broken Toy Left By Their Child...
..."A footprint haunts an empty floor
A fading coat that I once wore
Oh, A desolation where I once lived
I have seen in times gone by
I have felt a different shadow on the wall
A stranglehold on a certain feeling
Reap the wild wind"...

The breakwater trail to Ame's Point that separates Lake Winnebago from Millers Bay is uncrowded today with cold winds and blowing snow.
Notice the ice heaves on the left.

Micah 7:13 “The earth will become desolate because of its inhabitants, as the result of their deeds.”
This is from a recent walk along the Humber Estuary with Fred . The light did not play ball for what I thought might be an interesting sunset..
After the construction of the world famous "Afsluitdijk" the North Sea was definitively separated from the very dangerous "Zuiderzee", creating the "IJsselmeer".
As a result fishing disappeared , and many thousands of peoples became unemployed.
The buidlings of this industry also fell out of use and became in disrepair, such as the former fish auction in Laaxum (Friesland)
I took this shot when I was at the Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, Washington State

Standing in the middle of the fairly desolate moorland the Ribblehead viaduct looks like some modern version of Stonehenge . It must have been hell working on this site particularly in the long bitter Pennine winters . Sadly my timing was not good enough to catch a train on the viaduct
The Ribblehead Viaduct carries the Settle–Carlisle railway across Batty Moss in the Ribble Valley in North Yorkshire, England. The viaduct, is the longest and the third tallest structure on the Settle–Carlisle line.
The viaduct was designed by John Sydney Crossley, chief engineer of the Midland Railway, who was responsible for the design and construction of all major structures along the line. The viaduct was necessitated by the challenging terrain of the route. Construction began in late 1869. It necessitated a large workforce, up to 2,300 men, most of whom lived in shanty towns set up near its base. Over 200 men lost their lives during its construction. The Settle to Carlisle line was the last main railway in Britain to be constructed primarily with manual labour.By the end of 1874, the last stone of the structure had been laid
Ribblehead Viaduct is 440 yards long, and 104 feet above the valley floor at its highest point, it was designed to carry a pair of tracks aligned over the sleeper walls.The viaduct has 24 arches of 45 feet span, the foundations of which are 25 feet deep.. In total, 1.5 million bricks were used; some of the limestone blocks weigh eight tons. The Viaduct is 980 feet above sea level on moorland exposed to the prevailing westerly wind.
