Guiding Light.
Well the road is wide
And the waters run on either side
My shadow went with fading light
Stretching out towards the night
'Cause the sun is low
And I yet have still so far to go
My lonely heart is beating so
Tired of the wonder
And there's a sign ahead
Though I think it's the same one again
But I'm thinking 'bout my only friend
And so I find my way home
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
Oh, well the air is cold
And yonder lies my sleeping soul
By the branches broke like bones
This weakened tree no longer holds
Well, the night is still
And I have not yet lost the will
And I will keep on moving 'till
'Till I find my way home
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
Lead me on, and leave me strong
Like the road I walk on
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When I need to get home
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light.

Hoping to get the Phantastical Phantasm Cart Sale + Hunt in the destination guide.

The small light house at the end of Travemünde pier. It marks the mouth of river Trave and the approach to the Scandinavia quay, destination for many ferries from the Baltic states.

We witnessed some dramatic light and stunning views in the Faroe Islands. This is a road along the coast of Bordoy island with the cliffs of Vidoy rising steeply on the other side of Hvannasund. We were chased by some dark clouds and incoming rain but there were still breaks in the clouds and interesting light ahead of us, which prompted me to stop and take this photo.

The alarm today went off at 5am, over two hours before sunrise. The reason for the early alarm was the drive to Canyonlands National Park and the ensuing walk to Mesa Arch would take nearly an hour and I wanted to be able to plant my tripod before everyone else arrived. Driving out of Moab the streets were void of traffic and after turning onto the road leading to Canyonlands there weren’t any headlights in the rearview mirror or were there taillights visible ahead. I was confident that I had departed at an appropriately early enough time.
After entering the National Park I noticed a few taillights ahead of me in the distance. “OK, I guess there may be a few early risers there,” I thought. How wrong I was, for as I crested the rise in the dark with my headlamp guiding my way along the path to Mesa Arch I could hear many voices coming from ahead. I wasn’t alone and it wasn’t just a couple of early risers either. There were already 15 to 20 tripods with accompanying cameras and photographers set up waiting for sunrise! Fortunately, the location I had scouted out the day prior was still available, so I joined the masses and added my tripod and camera to the mix. Note to self: rethink the starting time for my next visit!
The beauty of the sunrise here is something one truly needs to witness in person. As the sun broke the horizon the first sunburst occurred, but the best was yet to come. Initially there is the lack of reflected light on the underside of Mesa Arch. But as the sun continued to rise and began to cross the underside of the arch a 2nd sunburst occurred while the reflected light illuminated the underbelly of the arch turning the sandstone a glowing red. While some photographers had already started packing up, the patience of ‘waiting for the light’ was rewarded with this image.
Highlighted by the rising sun is the Washer Woman (derived from its resemblance of a tall and slender woman reaching her hands into a tub) and to its right is the taller Monster Tower. Washer Woman and Monster Tower are each over 600 feet tall. Behind the Washer Woman is the Sandcastle.
This is the second image I’ve posted from that wonderful morning, but this one was taken moments earlier than the previous one. The sunburst is larger in this image as the sun has yet to rise high enough to be partially hidden by the arch.
From the earlier image, Kathleen had commented . . . “I can see an Indian lying in repose, hand in his lap and his legs crossed........lying in the opening, do you see him?” Yes, I could! Can you?

- of a different kind from the previous eponymous shot. Night lights, buildings, skyline and darkness - yet all these similarities in subject couldn't be more different...
Guide Falls on the Guide River, North West Tasmania.
A very attractive waterfall that is a leisurely amble from the car park and is surrounded by lawns and numerous picnic spaces.
The geology here is remarkable. During the Tertiary period, hot, fast moving basalt flowed down a gravel-floored river valley, pooled and cooled relatively slowly. That left a flow around 4m thick in places with strong columnar formations. Subsequent erosion of the gravel from beneath the lava flow resulted in the collapse of the basalt in great, van-sized blocks like so much 'lego'.
The Guide follows that weakness in the surface today.

Portland Bill Lighthouse, Dorset looking North.
This delightful young lady was our guide when we were spending one day in Croatia ,on a Danube cruise. We moored at Vukovar & were driven to the beautiful old town of Osijek . We were amusingly entertained by a comical fisherman & then had a lunch with a local family. Our guide kept us well informed in a most pleasant manner , throughout..
Journey again in another view. The old guide alway walked ahead. When the we left behind far away. He stopped and looked at us in silence. He was wordless and never laugh not like any other guide I have ever met. Maybe he wasn't a guide but a local peasant paid to show us the way.
However, he was cool not only in character but also in pose.
The conditions while taking this photograph were pretty extreme! But with the sun glimpsing at the right moment and me huddled over the tripod to try to keep it steady in the strong winds, I managed to get the shot i went there for.
This lovely little lighthouse is a short drive up the coast at Blyth. I usually see it as I drive further afield as heading further afield is something I enjoy. I often stop here on the way back from somewhere and either the light isn't great or I've had my fill of shooting for the day. Anyhow I've finally got round to it...

season 1 _ episode one
my second time at this wonderful manor with the five Alive crew something quite colonial about this place!
I've walked this path many times, but normally in the opposite direction, and so I'd never appreciated the nice swoop the guided busway makes here.
I had to recrop this one after the fact because I was rushed to get this one shot: I'd sped up to get ahead of a pedestrian so I could take this shot, and I only had this instance before he would overtake me again getting in the frame. Thank goodness for enough pixels to let me re-compose after.
