Split Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located in Aireys Inlet on the Great Ocean Road, Victoria, Australia.
Considered one of the most picturesque lighthouses in the United States, the octagonal tower of Split Rock Light is 54 feet in height and stands atop a 130-foot high rocky cliff. Before being retired by the U. S. Coast Guard in 1969, the light could be seen 25 miles out into Lake Superior.
Inspired by the split image at www.flickr.com/photos/bigempty/17619196/ I thought I would try one of my own. I think the result is quite scary.
Many thanks to "bigempty" of San Francisco for the idea.

Diocletian's Palace is an ancient palace built by the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD, that today forms about half the old town of and city center of Split, in Croatia.
While it is referred to as a "palace" because of its intended use as the retirement residence of Diocletian, the term can be misleading as the structure is massive and more resembles a large fortress: about half of it was for Diocletian's personal use, and the rest housed the military garrison.
Diocletian built the massive palace in preparation for his retirement on 1 May 305 AD.
After the Romans abandoned the site, the Palace remained empty for several centuries. In the 7th century, nearby residents fled to the walled palace in an effort to escape invading Croats. Since then the palace has been occupied, with residents making their homes and businesses within the palace basement and directly in its walls.[1] Today many restaurants and shops, and some homes, can still be found within the walls.
