Please bear with me, this is part two of a series of shots showing how the sunset developed at Godrevy.
At this point I had moved on from anticipation into hope. The horizon had stayed clear and the sunset was fast approaching. It was also at this point that I was rather happy that I had passed up the opportunity to watch Poldark whilst in Poldark country.

This is the Marken lighthouse, given its name due to its shape ('paard' means 'horse' in dutch). The original was built in 1700, then reconstructed on top of the early foundations in 1839. It's still in use today for the recreational watersportsmen and woman.
Generated by electricity now, it gives 6 seconds of light, then 2 seconds in the dark.
I do recommend to see it large size. I myself was surprised to see the owner entering his house. Photo was taken when the evening falls. The lighthouse can only be reached by a half hour walking from Marken town. I went by bike ;-)
Het Paard van Marken is een vuurtoren van Marken. De vuurtoren is gebouwd in 1839 en staat op de oostelijke punt van het eiland. De toren heeft een hoogte van 16 meter en een lichtbereik van 16,7 km. De toren is begonnen als een vierkante vuurbaak in 1700. Later werden er gebouwen aan de vuurtoren gebouwd. Het beroep van vuurtorenwachter was ooit bijzonder zwaar omdat het voornamelijk bestond uit het voortdurend de hoge toren opslepen van hout of kolen, om het vuur op de juiste wijze brandend te houden. Vuurtorenwachters woonden vaak vlakbij de toren, eventueel zelfs in een aangebouwde woning zoals hier bij het Paard van Marken en het beroep ging over van vader op zoon. Pas met de komst van olielampen en dan met name de Argandse lamp in de achttiende eeuw kreeg de vuurtorenwachter het wat lichter.
Het beroep vuurtorenwachter bestaat niet meer. Er zijn nog een paar vuurtorens bemand, maar de mensen die daar zitten zijn eigenlijk verkeersleiders voor de scheepvaart. Zij hebben nog wel de functie van uitkijk, maar hebben geen bemoeienis meer met het licht. In de volksmond heten zij echter nog wel vuurtorenwachter. Het Paard van Marken geeft 6 seconde licht en is 2 seconde donker. Meer info op: www.thijsvandetoren.nl/

I decided to stop my latest 365 project. It's not that I can't do it: the truth is that there's just too much crap going on in my life right now to give too many fucks about doing it.

Please help all those in Ike's path! My sister and nephew are in the middle of this horrible storm. They lost power at about 2 am Saturday morning and lost telephone around 3:30 am. I have not been able to get in touch wih them since and I have no idea what is going on. I am worried sick. They don't have cell phones for whatever reason and it isn't really important why not right now. I only pray that they are safe. All of the Houston/Galveston areas are getting hammered by Ike and it appears there is still quite a bit of time before all of this has passed. It is 7:00 am central time and according to the weather channel it is still very bad. Lots of water and wind. Please, Lord, hear my prayers and the prayers of all.
I am working today and tomorrow...so will be visiting as much as I can whenever I get a break.

Putting this up not so much for the birds but the overall aesthetics made possible by the confluence of cloud and that ethereal light. To me, the flamingos are a bonus :)

NO MULTI INVITATIONS in your commenTs, Tks.
Please Note: This is a "capriccio" - based on the architecture of The Modern Wing of The Art Institute, Chicago - which is here modified, as inspired by the architectural caprices of Giovanni Battista Piranesi.
Back in July, we hoped to walk this 11 km trail during our holiday and with stormy weather forecast in the afternoon, we managed it just in time before a heavy downpour. Along the way, we found several plastic water bottles carelessly discarded along the trail or stuffed into crevices - including at this lookout. Please....! Don't leave your garbage behind in these pristine places. Carry it out!

and show you how to fly.

feeling beleaguered? careworn? in need of mending?
wishing for a different, kinder country?
so make your voice known and go VOTE!!

Please have a safe Halloween night! The lights on the left of the frame spooked me a little when I viewed it on my LCD. Reminded me of a Ghost with arms raised. I will be visiting Lofoten Islands soon. This time I plan on getting 4k video of it with Sony A7SII, in addition to stills. Crossing my fingers we get clear skies and northern lights.
