The morning light is unmatched in my opinion; it’s got those crisp warm tones with cool shadows. I managed to get a shoot in on my way to work earlier this week; usually the traffic eats it during my commute but this past Monday was 30min early! There are these large culverts that seem abandoned in a vacant field that made for an interesting backdrop here. #toyphotography #acidrainworld #joecowtoy #luggans

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.
I have made the beacon lighting ceremony the last two years, and I plan on going every year for as long as I can still make it. Yes, it's cold on the North Shore in November, but if you have a love of history, beauty, and a need for an unexplainable sense of something unexplainable, the trip is well worth it!

"split second" - On the trip eastward from Vancouver following her rebuild to service at the end of the second day eastward run, we find Canadian Pacific class H1b Hudson 2816 having arrived to overnight in Kamloops, BC. While talking with the CP Rail policeman it was heavy overcast and near sunset, then suddenly a split second raybeam of sunlight glinted down the flanks of the engine as the crews serviced her.
I think I adjusted the camera as I was spinning, running over about 15 feet and aiming . . . it was gone in about 3 seconds and the sun never came back again. In those film days I knew it would be a while before I saw my results the date September 20, 2001, the next morning 2816 departed for Revelstoke and another day for dreams fulfilled and memories made.
