Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse ~ Hillsboro Beach, Florida U.S.A.
(six more photos of 'this lighthouse' in the comments)
*****************************************************************************
Hillsboro Inlet Light is 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.
In 1901, the United States Lighthouse Establishment persuaded Congress to authorize the construction of a lighthouse in the dark area between Jupiter Inlet Light and Fowey Rocks Light. 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 (32 mi). The octagonal iron pyramidal tower was built at Russel Wheel & Foundry Co in Detroit, Michigan, moved to the Hillsboro Inlet Light Station in 1906, and lit on March 7, 1907. Its second-order bivalve Fresnel lens emits a light measuring 5.5 megacandelas and is placed 136 feet above sea level. Automated in 1974, the light acts both as a coastal navigational aide and as a support to local water traffic.
The light was relit in 2000, with 400 pounds of mercury replaced by a specially designed ball-bearing assembly. In 2003, Hillsboro Inlet Light was honored with a 37¢ U.S. postage stamp. Flashes at 20 sec.

Raggio di sole
Description : Singolo raggio di luce del sole che superando le nuvole e le vette raggiunge il lago sottostante. E' stato esaltato il colore del raggio, del lago e del cielo lasciando in bianco e nero le montagne per creare più distacco tra il freddo delle Alpi trentine e il calore del sole. Il sole tocca il lago, porta la vita e lo colora.

Yellow flowers bathing in the sunlight
Rejoicing in their yellow delight
How so, could we be so bright
they ask, oblivious of the sunny sky!

A lovely walk around a village just outside of town and this fern was nicely backlit in a woodland clearing. Such a peaceful walk, whilst it lasts I will enjoy it!
so, i just lost my job and i'm pretty screwed, finances-wise.
would anyone be interested in purchasing prints? if i get enough responses, i might try to set up some sort of system for selling them. just trying to see if there'd be any interest in that sort of thing. :]

Moving into Slale Creek on my trip up to Eternal Flame falls with fellow waterfall lovers, Joe and Alicea (wnywaterfallers) we were presented with a series of exquisite light shafts down in the quiet and serene glen.
NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE
There was a moment when the light and the darkness were only divided by the breathing of the morning wind. A glowing blanket, clean and ineffable, was on its way down from the sky to the land. I was just sitting on a boulder, the camera in my hands, to wait for my turn to be touched by the golden light.
Toccando la luce
C'era un momento in cui la luce e il buio stavano divisi soltanto dal respiro del vento del mattino. Una coperta di luce, netta ed ineffabile, stava scendendo dal cielo verso la terra. Io me ne stavo seduto su una roccia, con la macchina fotografica fra le mani, attendendo a mia volta di essere toccato dalla luce color dell'oro.
"Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his faithfulness." Psalm 96
