Got this amazing effect while trying to come up with my photo for our "Illusions" exhibition. I love the way the glass ball seems to be on top of the light trails. No Photoshop, just light painting. 😊
Btw, I'm hosting a studio light painting workshop this week. It's a lot of fun. If you are in London, check it out. 😊
Thanks for all your support, Flickr Friends!

Stealing the last sunlight as it slip over the curve of the earth at the Cape Hatteras Light
"Cape Hatteras Light is a lighthouse located on Hatteras Island in the Outer Banks in the town of Buxton, North Carolina and is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The lighthouse's semi-unique pattern makes it easy to recognize and famous. It is often ranked high on lists of most beautiful, and famous lighthouses in the US.
The Outer Banks are a group of barrier islands on the North Carolina coast that separate the Atlantic Ocean from the coastal sounds and inlets. Atlantic currents in this area made for excellent travel for ships, except in the area of Diamond Shoals, just offshore at Cape Hatteras. Nearby, the warm Gulf Stream ocean current collides with the colder Labrador Current, creating ideal conditions for powerful ocean storms and sea swells. The large number of ships that ran aground because of these shifting sandbars gave this area the nickname "Graveyard of the Atlantic." It also led the U.S. Congress to authorize the construction of the Cape Hatteras Light. Its 198-foot height makes it the tallest brick lighthouse structure in the United States and 2nd in the world. Since its base is almost at sea level, it is only the 15th highest light in the United States, the first 14 being built on higher ground.
On July 10, 1794, after Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton requested that they make a lighthouse on this location after his ship almost crashed and sunk on its to way [back to the United States] giving it the nickname "Hamilton's light." Congress appropriated $44,000 "for erecting a lighthouse on the headland of Cape Hatteras and a lighted beacon on Shell Castle Island, in the harbor of Ocracoke in the State of North Carolina." The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse was constructed in 1802.
The Cape Hatteras light marked very dangerous shoals that extend from the cape for a distance of 10 nautical miles (19 km). The original tower was built of dark sandstone and retained its natural color. The original light consisted of 18 lamps; with 14-inch (360 mm) reflectors, and was 112 feet (34 m) above sea level. It was visible in clear weather for a distance of 18 miles (29 km)." (Wikipedia)

I took this shot while visiting the New England area of New South Wales in April 2014. I had headed to this location for sunrise with my mate Chi, and later that afternoon my wife wanted to check out the Gostwyck Chapel, so I took her here. There were too many people around to photograph the chapel at this time of day so I photographed some nice light across the field.

Photograph was created yesterday evening while I was surf fishing at South Mission Beach ~ San Diego, California.
The lead sailboat is spot lit by the setting sun's light with some small amount of *sparkle* around it out there on the horizon... both are making their way to safe harbor.

As vivid the city Van is, so quiet is the surrounding land.
We'll bring a visit to the south-eastern part of the country, for not so many years ago a completely no-go area. Even today you get stopped by a military checkpoint on the way to Yüksekova and Hakkiri suspiciously asking you about your motives and your goal. Why are you visiting this area, where do you plan to stay? Of course they want to check your car to be sure you don't smuggle weapons or anything else.
Welcome to this beautiful part of the country near the Iranian and Iraqi borders, surrounded by the highest mountains (nearly all over 4,000m), impressive castles and endless skies in what looks like a true no man's land, except for the peregrinating nomads.
To be continued...
