We burn candles for 3 days from February 2nd. The 3 days are to mark the holydays of The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple - The Purification of the Blessed Virgin - and St. Brigid. On the 3rd day we take down the Christmas tree + decorations and lay the golden crust of a newbaked loaf + several ears of corn + wheat on a windowsill to offer prayers of thanks for last year's harvest and hopes for this year. We make new charms from twisted wheat, hay + dried wildflowers then hang them from the beams and place them on inglenook shelves. The old charms are burned on the fire at midnight on the 3rd day.

"Fort Popham is a Civil War-era coastal defense fortification at the mouth of the Kennebec River in Phippsburg, Maine. It is located in sight of the short-lived Popham Colony and, like the colony, named for George Popham, the colony's leader. The site is preserved as Fort Popham State Historic Site.
Construction of Fort Popham was authorized in 1857 as part of the Third System of fortifications but did not begin until 1861. The fort was built from granite blocks quarried on nearby Fox and Dix Islands. It had a 30-foot (9 m)-high wall facing the mouth of the Kennebec River and was built in a crescent shape, measuring approximately 500 feet (150 m) in circumference.
During the closing months of the American Civil War, from October 1864 to July 1865, the fort was garrisoned by the 7th Unassigned Company of Maine Infantry. The 7th Company was commanded by Captain Augustin Thompson, who is best known as the inventor of Moxie soda.
Fort Popham was originally designed to mount 42 heavy guns, a mix of 10-inch and 15-inch Rodman guns, but construction was halted in 1869 with only two of the planned three tiers completed. In the late 19th century, Fort Popham's armament consisted of 36 Rodman guns and some 300-pounder (10-inch) and smaller Parrott rifles. One of the Rodman guns was donated to the town of Bowdoinham to remember its soldiers who died in the Civil War. The cannon is still there. A 100-pounder (6.4-inch) Parrott rifle sits near the fort grounds; it was listed as being at the fort in 1903. The back side of Fort Popham was built with a low moated curtain containing a central gate and 20 musket ports.
War experience showed that masonry forts were vulnerable to modern rifled guns. As a result, in 1869 construction at Fort Popham stopped before the fortification was completed. The fort was garrisoned again after additional work was performed during the Spanish–American War and World War I. In the 1890s Fort Popham received new facilities for a controlled minefield in the river at the fort as part of the Endicott program of improved fortifications." (Wikipedia)

First off I have been playing a lot of Dying Light and, it has been awesome. So I was inspired to do a little fig barf. Also I am working on a Zombie from the game (Bloater).

"That light we see is burning in my hall.
How far that little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world."
(Portia Act 5 sc 1 William Shakespeare)
The Portland Breakwater Light (also called Bug Light) is a small lighthouse in South Portland, Maine.
The lighthouse was first built in 1855, as a wooden structure, but the breakwater was extended and a new lighthouse was constructed at the end of it in 1875. The new lighthouse was made of curved cast-iron plates whose seams are disguised by six decorative Corinthian columns. Its design was inspired by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, made well known by engravings. The architect was Thomas U. Walter, most noted as the designer of the U.S. Capitol east and west wings and its current dome. Wooden sheds and a six-room house for the lighthouse-keeper were added incrementally as needed. In 1897 Spring Point Ledge Light was erected and the houses around Bug Light were demolished and the Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse keepers tended to both lighthouses. During World War II, the breakwater was slowly absorbed by landfill as the New England Shipbuilding Corporation built two shipyards next to the lighthouse. These shipyards produced Liberty Ships for the war effort. Because of the smaller breakwater, there was a lesser need for the lighthouse and it was decommissioned in 1943.
Restoration
The light was fully restored in 1989 and was reactivated in 2002. It appears as a private aid to navigation in the US Coast Guard Light List as South Portland Breakwater Light. Today a park named after the lighthouse, Bug Light Park, allows visitors to view the Portland Breakwater Light up close, while memorializing the shipbuilding efforts of World War II. The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Portland Breakwater Light on June 19, 1973.

Taken in Rockville, MD. (I don't map pictures taken in/around my home for privacy reasons.)
The rain stopped.
Through the windows, the magic light came,
It lingered on the wall.
I hoped it could stay with me, for longer time.
The night came, after all, with no surprise.

I wake every morning to the light coming through the Venetian blinds in my bedroom. I love the way that there are the parallel lines of the slats and also the minor verticals crossing them. I think I have caught the shade created at just the right intensity but who am I to judge?
Some stunning crepuscular rays this morning! Just had to pull over to take a shot! View towards the Wrekin - Shropshire
Looking up to the interior ceiling detail and colour. Gaudi used ideas from natural forms and details in his architectural design and preferred to use models rather than detailed drawings.Barcelona Sagrada Familia . en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoni_Gaud%C3%AD
Another sunset, quiet a shock right? I am pretty one dimensional right now. Or consider me specialized in sunsets :) Some day I will get out of my comfort zone but in the meantime with the limited time I have to invest and the great area for them they win out. Another shot from this location.
