After a challenging day on Tacumshane chasing shorebirds through mud and water with not a single half decent image to show, I made my way to Hook Head for sunset knowing that the lighthouse would still be there!

Beautiful sunrise at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge to go with the cold temps that were made even colder with the rather brisk winds.

Can you put a cord through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook?
Subject
A pair of fishing hooks, each less than an inch long, form a heart. Fishing is a #SimplePleasure that I most associate with wonderful times spent with my father and stepfather at various times of my life.
It was shot for several challenges simultaneously:
Macro Mondays "Less Than An Inch"
Flickr Friday's "Simple Pleasures"
Smile On Saturday's "On Pure White"
Weekly Theme Challenge's "Hearts"
Sunday Lights "Only Your Best"
Lens
On the body we have the SMC Pentax-DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR. It's the kit wide-angle zoom. Reversed onto that lens is the SMC Pentax-A 1:1.7 50mm.
The EXIF data only shows the information for the body-attached lens. Even at 55mm it has mild vignetting when used this way. At 18mm, only a small central circle is visible. The reversed lens is fixed at 50mm and is wide open at f1.7.
The image is not cropped or modified in any way.
Lighting
One Pentax AF540FGZ strobe is mounted on the body as the wireless master, aimed at an improvised white-paper reflector. A second AF540FGZ capped with a generic snap-on diffuser is the wireless slave, laying just outside the frame.

Hook Norton Brewery is a regional brewery in Hook Norton, Oxfordshire, England, several miles outside of the Cotswold Hills. Founded in 1849, the brewing plant is a traditional Victorian 'tower' brewery in which all the stages of the brewing process flow logically from floor to floor; mashing at the top, boiling in the middle, fermentation and racking at the bottom. Until 2006, the brewing process was powered by steam. Beer is still delivered in the village by horse-drawn dray

I find it interesting that you can see where the wood has been marked by the swing of the hook and where rust from the hook has transferred to the wood.
End of the day out motoring on the bay. Making sure the hook-up is secure.

This image was captured down at Hook Head which is located in County Wexford, Ireland and features Hook Lighthouse which is one of the world's oldest lighthouses.
I've been wanting to build myself one of these for a couple of years. If you're at Brickworld Chicago this weekend come by the GamerLUG tables to see it in person.
The hooks do open, but they lock in place for safe operation. If they are open, the entire thing tends to explode. :)
