Yeah for anthropomorphism!Īnd then I think of how happy Una was living with her Aunt and Uncle at the Light House in Ahab's Wife - a much happier Light House Story. A sad story-even the Light House was affected by the tragedy. Yeah-This song never fails to make tears well up in my eyes. Perhaps it was too early?Īnd now for the musical portion of today's meditation on Light Houses : Once in a while, we get to see the Fresnel lens doing it's work-but not this night. A suitable place for a Light House, but it is a private residence. It's situated at the mouth of a River as it empties from a large Lake. Yes-it's such a popular photography spot, the owners had to put up a sign to warn about their security system and no-trespassing stop sign to keep people out. I cleaned up a few things on my original (I love the spot-healing tool in PSE! It's a miracle worker!). Many evenings while we're walking the dogs, we see photographers set up to shoot this scene at sunset. Nice sunset that night with a little haze across the water. Here's the original image, not far from my house. I had this worked up in PSE alone, and I have to say, Topaz did improve the overall image.
