I've had a rough year. Someone I love was ripped out of my life who can never be replaced. And now there's a gaping chasm of a hole where that person used to be. It will never be filled.
I was lucky to have amazing family and friends to see me through the dark times.
Still, I hide what I feel sometimes because I don't want them to worry. This image shows how I feel sometimes, inside.

And we finally did it! We've been talking about doing sunrise light-painting for so long, and it's during this trip that we've made it for the first time. The challenge here is to get set up properly before the blue hour, which can be tricky as we don't see exactly what's going to be revealed by the first glow of the day. It turned out to be much greater than I expected. The vibe of the morning is so different, and the colors were totally out of this world. To this day, this is one of my most favorite moment. The connection we get, the simplicity of the surroundings and the results are exactly what the Tube Stories are about. At the beginning of the video, you'll see our two first sunrise light-painting (January 21st without the clouds, and January 22nd with the cotton ball clouds)

I saw this litter in my field today and was initially repulsed by it. As I went to pick it up and dispose of it, I noticed how beautiful the droplets on it were. So, of course, I had to take a couple or three shots of them.
Looking for beauty in all things is new for me and this instance definitely has pushed me to new limits. However, I do not condone putting litter in my beautiful field. Thus I'd like to encourage the dastardly litterbug to amend his or her ways. I'd much rather capture wildflower droplets.
Take care ~ Beth =]

Probably the most ridiculous piece of SNOT I've made that I won't end up using. The 12 red pins are arranged in a perfect 6.5U radius circle (other than the tiny offset of Technic holes vs SNOT bricks). Thanks to a quirk of geometry, the pins are also almost equally spaced (a pythagorean triangle with sides 33, 56, 65 includes an angle of just over 30.5°). Birthed from an experiment to see if this piece of kit (brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=4645063) could be made with twelve equally spaced compressor cylinders instead of 4.

Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the north side of Hillsboro Inlet, midway between Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton, in Hillsboro Beach, Florida. The light marks the northern limit of the Florida Reef, an underwater coral formation on the lower east coast of the state.
Hillsboro Point was designated as hazardous for the safe navigation of ships in 1855, and federal designation was sought. A request for a lighthouse at the inlet was first made in 1884. The request was repeated yearly and rejected 17 times. In 1901, the United States Lighthouse Board persuaded Congress to authorize the construction of a lighthouse in the dark area between Jupiter Inlet Light and Fowey Rocks Light.
The official order approved on February 12, 1901 called for a "first-order light at or near Hillsboro Point...at a cost not to exceed $90,000." No appropriation of funds was made in 1901 and in 1902 $45,000 was appropriated.The full funding to build the lighthouse was appropriated on March 3, 1903.
Initially a site on the south side of the inlet was selected, however it was not feasible, so a site on the north of the inlet was chosen. The owner of the property did not want to sell at first but after beginning condemnation proceedings, an agreement to purchase the land was reached. The 3 acre (1.2 ha) parcel was purchased for $150 from Elnathan T. Field and Mary W. Osborn of Middleton, New Jersey who had bought the land for 70 cents an acre (0.4 ha) from the Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund.
Soon after the light was operational unexplained reports of fires in the Everglades began to come in. The cause was the lens, when stopped in the morning at just the right position, it would focus the sunlight west towards the wetlands. A landward baffle was installed. This also shielded nearby residents from the bright light at night.
Lightkeepers would assist shipwrecks using three 12 to 20 horsepower gas boats. The wives of the lighthouse keepers would make sea grape jelly to trade for pickled vegetables from local farmers. Four Coast Guard signalmen were stationed at the lighthouse in World War I barracked in one of the storehouses.
During the 1926 Miami hurricane J.B. Isler stood a 32-hour watch, keeping the light burning while fearing the lighthouse would fall. It stood but 20 feet (6.1 m) of sand was washed out from under it, according to Mary Ella Knight Voss, daughter of a prior lightkeeper. The storm also damaged the dwellings and carried away the boathouse and wharf. Isler's son George and daughter Ruth, born in the keeper's house, were the first children of record born at the Hillsboro Inlet.
The lighthouse beach patrol spotted a German U-boat in 1943, during World War II. The submarine was reportedly sunk, but no wreck has been documented. Later that year a freighter, the M.S. Arcura aroused the suspicion of a lighthouse keeper. The ship was being used as a raider and was crewed by German nationals and carrying arms. The crew were transported to Port Everglades and the Arcura became a war prize.
In 1974 the lighthouse was fully automated. One United States Coast Guardsman was assigned to remain on site to maintain the light and grounds. The assistant keepers' homes were converted to guest quarters for senior coast guard and other senior military officers. The Hillsboro Inlet Light Station was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on February 16, 1979. The lighthouse and buildings are little altered from their original construction in 1907.
In the second half of the 20th century, this inlet became an increasingly busy waterway. Hillsboro Inlet Light is considered one of the most powerful lights in the world with a beam that can be seen for 28 nautical miles (52 km; 32 mi).

Taiaroa Headland - Dunedin - New Zealand - South Island
Canon 5D MKII - Canon EF L Lens 17-40mm
Taiaroa Head is a headland at the end of the Otago Peninsula in New Zealand, overlooking the mouth of the Otago Harbour. It lies within the city limits of Dunedin. The headland is home to a colony of Royal Albatross birds. To be honest, that is all pretty boring, unless you are into the Royal Albatross. It's just simply beautiful landscape up there, and that is what drew my eye into the image. Hard to believe when looking at this shot, the surrounding mountains behind Dunedin are covered in snow.

I haven't been out shooting much at all lately. So, the other evening, I set aside some time to specifically get out there. But sunset just wasn't happening, so I started driving around downtown, looking for some interesting verticals. I finally stopped at the Columbia Tower, the tallest building in Seattle. I had shot here previously, so this time I walked around it a bit looking for a new perspective, and found this one, which I liked with the corner and the light.
Unfortunately, this area had a sign up that said "Patio Closed". I figured I'd be in and out quickly so no big deal. Well, right after I took this, a security guard comes running around the corner, yelling at me about trespassing. "Closed means closed!!". I apologized and said I was just trying to photograph his pretty building, but he wasn't having any of it, and rudely escorted me out...not just out of the closed patio, but off the property entirely.
I then thanked him for keeping the building safe from dangerous criminals like me....and I may have made the universal hand signal of friendship at the security camera after he was back at his desk too, just for good measure. So, I'm pretty sure I'm not welcome in that building anymore....
Not bad for my first photo outing in over a month, huh?
