Sunrise on the Calf of Man.

So you plan a shot, you've thought about for ages. Staying on a small island called the Calf of Man, helping with Voluntary work. Night time shot, M, tripod, headlight, redlight, remote etc..Full Moon ordered, and it came out from behind a bank of clouds at just the right time. Unfortunately, because of the exposed nature of lighthouses it was extremely windy. Had to put my weight on the tripod to hold steady. Despite that, the stars do look a tad blurred. I know this is not a perfect picture, but good practice, in pitch darkness. Nothing is ever perfect :)

Purple haze, all in my brain
Lately things they don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky

Many buildings have been remodeled over the centuries. Here a doorway with marble frame has been filled with red bricks to frame a window, flower boxes, and black iron security grating.

Practically every building on the 67 islands of Venice is sinking into the saturated, silty soils. The X's and single bars are the end caps of post-tension tendons, which keep the house, its walls, and its floors held together.

Canal level view of overhanging balcony along Venice, Italy, canal. Many details begin with carved gargoyle on canal level archway keystone and marble column capstones. Was surprised at the cracked and missing stucco sections on exterior walls which revealed the brick and stone with mortar construction.

This little lighthouse had considerable interest when it went up for sale last year for £10,000. The birds are Arctic Terns.

Something a little different

One of my best friends gave me this Magnolia as a house warming gift 10 years ago. I think this is the first year it's looking more at home in our garden. :)

Echoes knocking on locked doors
All the laughter from before
I'd rather live out on the street
Than in this haunted memory

I used the art brush in photoshop for this one.

There's nothing quite like Lake Michigan sunset! Pure Michigan!

Couldn't pass this by without a snap

Traveling from NC to VA yesterday, decided to shoot from the car and capture images that caught my eye while driving.

An oldie, showing just how abstract the world around us can be

That is one seriously sweet treehouse out there

This was my first real attempt at a composite using three photos Ive taken (the coffee cup, the background, and the baby infront of the laptop.

Fort Perch Rock Lighthouse is situated on the banks of the River Mersey

This lighthouse sits at the end of Paradise Island and lights the entrance to Nassau Harbor. Built in 1817, it is the oldest surviving lighthouse in the West Indies.

I live in Montana, the closest major city is over 200 miles away in Spokane, Wa. I had been to Spokane and on the way back it was getting late when I came along the shores of lake Pend Orielle. A beautiful, wild place and the deepest lake in the continental 48. It's in Idaho, and there are several marina towns along the road as boating is a regular sport in the lake. Just as I passed a town named "hope, Id." within just a couple of miles I passed thru the town of "beyond hope, Id." No kidding. The sun had gone down and left absolutely gorgeous colors subtly playing chase across the sky. With almost no wind I couldn't resist taking some long exposures while battling the hoard of native mosquitoes who obviously thought I was trespassing. This is just one of the photos I took that evening; I shot until almost dark. Canon 7d, 24-105 L lens, b & h polariser topped with an AFGA polariser to mix the polarisation effects, no flash, Neweer radio controlled sync control to the camera for taking the final shot from my car; when I was hiding from the inch long mosquitoes, at least that is how I remember them.

An old farm house in Lopez Pa! This farm house was tucked deep in the country found this totally by accident! The colors of fall were definitely calling to be photographed!

Did some road trippin' last June. Headed over to the west side of the state and ended up in Grand Haven. Fell in love with this touristy town located on Lake Michigan.

Split Rock Lighthouse, MN

After much anticipation, I finally got to see this lighthouse in person last June! I fell in love with the town of Grand Haven and even though the town caters to the tourists, there's still a lot of charm to behold. The lighthouse is a great example of that!

It was road trip time and I headed towards the west side of the state. To see Lake Michigan in all her splendiferous glory. I was not disappointed! There's a saying in Michigan: "There's no sunset like a Lake Michigan sunset!" I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. Mere words cannot describe a sunset over Lake Michigan. I wished I could have stayed longer. I'll be back.

The lighthouse at the Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. It was a terribly gloomy and grey day, and I only had minutes to capture before heading to catch a flight home.
