This was my first visit to Smith Rock, so being me I naturally avoided the traditional image and went off the beaten track looking unique compositions. Unfortunately, we had a bit of a tame evening in terms of color, but I really like the mood in this image and the lovely pattern in the foreground rock.

A scrambling or climbing plant with stems growing up to 4 m long. Its shiny bright green leaves are alternately arranged, stalkless, and usually have short tendrils (1-2 cm long) at their tips. Its showy flowers have six large 'petals' (5-8 cm long) that are usually bright red or orange with yellow markings. Their 'petals' have wavy edges and are strongly turned backwards. Its fruit are fleshy capsules (3-10 cm long and 1-2 cm wide) containing many large (4-5 mm long), round, reddish seeds. All parts of this plant are toxic to humans and animals if ingested especially the fleshy tubers.

I went out expecting to get one of those pretty "orange ball" sunsets enhanced by the smoky haze from the wildfires in the western US and Canada. That didn't work out, but the haze still worked to produce some nice sunset colors.
WWII Fire control towers at Cape Henlopen State Park. on the Rehoboth Beach side, Delaware. The towers somehow remind me of the Pacman video game, each with a "mouth" to gobble up the wind and rains.

It wasn't long before the starlings appeared to perform their daily aerial ballet. The light was very low by the time they arrived, but they never disappoint. Having known Brighton for over 40 years, I'm still adjusting to seeing the huge Rampion wind farm on the horizon. It stretches for many miles.
Chania Venetian Harbour
The Venetian harbour of Chania was built by the Venetians between 1320 and 1356. The harbour was used for commerce and also to control the Sea of Crete against pirates.
The Venetian harbour had room for 40 galleys, but it constantly silted up and was never very deep, so it kept having to be dredged, a difficult job with the equipment of the time.
On its north side the harbour is protected by a breakwater. Near the middle of this is a small bulwark like a gun emplacement and the tiny chapel of St Nicholas. This was where the Venetians and Turks executed condemned prisoners.
The Firkas Fortress at the harbour entrance and the St Nicholas bastion in the middle of the breakwater defended the harbour from raiders.
Today, the Venetian harbour offers moorage for fishing boats and other small craft, while the commercial and passenger port of Chania is seven kilometres to the east, in Souda Bay.
The lighthouse is a distinctive feature of the harbour. It was built at the harbour entrance by the Venetians and restored in its present form by the Egyptians (1830-1840). The lighthouse of the Venetian harbour of Chania always fascinates visitors and is one of the most-photographed monuments in Crete.

Said to have many health benefits, especially for older folk. Even if it doesn't, the flowers which bloom in the evening are so bright and cheerful that it does one good just to see them. My garden seems to have been taken over by wild flowers!
