The dark haired Bergdorf look=alike Split Decision Poppy - unfortunately taken in not brilliant light, but her similarity to Bergdorf is stunning nonetheless.
Split Rock Lighthouse, Lake Superior North Shore, Minnesota
After a storm on Nov. 28, 1905 had damaged 29 ships, Congress authorized $70,000 to build a lighthouse and fog signal at Split Rock. The light station was completed in 1910.
The light was taken out of service in 1969 when modern navigation methods made it obsolete, but the beacon is lit once a year on November 10th to commemorate the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Bumped into this stranger while shooting images in Split Croatia for the Dutch Canon Grand Prix 2017 as a finalist :-)
All about the idea of this project can be read here:

A leaflet available at the lighthouse says a November 1905 storm that wrecked several ships on Lake Superior was the impetus for constructing Split Rock Lighthouse. Completed in 1910, the 54-foot lighthouse occupies a picturesque setting atop a 130-foot rock cliff on Beaver Bay on the west shore of Lake Superior, about 45 miles above Duluth, Minnesota; electricity replaced kerosene as the light's fuel in 1940. The lighthouse, retired in 1969, is a Minnesota Historical Society museum in Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. The lighthouse and other light station buildings have been restored to their 1920s appearance; the complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 (69000073) and named a National Historic Landmark in 2011. Most of the photos I took of this lighthouse show it from a distance, to show the setting, but this provides a somewhat closer view than the earlier post. It was taken from a rather busy overlook, with people waiting for good position, so I dispensed with the tripod.
At some point, I want to try using Photoshop to substitute a more interesting sky into this and/or other images from the same day. I've never attempted such editing/manipulation.

It's the 100th Birthday celebration for this Minnesota Icon that has guarded the North Shore of Lake Superior since 1910.
It's my annual "offical" autumn photo of this state's treasure. It just has to be included in my series of photos honoring "North of Ordinary!"

I rarely been to Suntec City, Singapore, but I really should re-consider this. The tall pillars and interesting tile facades at the exterior, coupled with it's unobstructed surrounding, allows for some interesting shadows to be casted at different times of the day.
A mother leads her daughter as they past through this composition, split into (almost) half by the shadow of the pillar behind me.

A view from Matejuška, a small fishermen harbour and the last bastion of traditional and very temperamental Mediterranean mentality. I've seen once a nice grafitti on the wall which can explain very well what I've just say about that mentality. ;)

OK a little detail on this photo and the last uploaded photo.
As you have read I am in Viangchang Laos standing on a corner.
Street name: Boulevard Khouvieng
and Rue Mahosot, or some where close to mentioned streets ?
In the background of this photo you see what is a lot used by very poor vendors.
It is full of garbage and debris from a torn down building.
The lady in purple seems to be the boss of this lot and this man
was trying to impress her.
Apparently he used the wrong words and ended up walking away with a split lip. I wasn't fast enough to catch the upper cut from her left fist because like him I wasn't expecting it..;-0
So anyway life goes on and I have a gut feeling these two do this quite often.
Who knows maybe they are husband and wife ? ...;-)~

Hope you have enjoyed the show and I'll keep them coming
for awhile. .... Hand Held D300 Nikon, 70-300VR Nikkor.

Alley in Diocletian's Palace, Split (Italian: Spalato, Latin: Spalatum), Croatia
The palace was built for Diocletian in the early 4th century. The emperor spent the rest of his life here after his abdication. The complex combines the qualities of a luxury residence with a military camp.
The palace was integrated into the urban texture of the medieval Split. It was "discovered" in the 18th century. Robert Adam, the neoclassical architect studied the palace intensively.
The site is included in the World Cultural Heritage list of UNESCO.

Split Cinder Cone. This small volcanic cone was formed during a mid-Pleistocene eruption along the Southern Death Valley Fault Zone. Subsequent movement along the right-lateral fault has split the cone. The western part of the cone (right) has been displaced about 90 meters northward. View is to the south directly down the trace of the fault. Death Valley National Park. Inyo Co., Calif.
