This is the Cape Egmont lighthouse at Pungarehu, which is about a 20 minute drive "around the coast" from home. We used to live a short walk from here when Mrs S and I first shacked up together in our den of inequity.
A literal translation of Pungarehu is "coal ash" or "ash bowl"...probably because it will be one of the first hit should Mount Taranaki, which can't be seen today because of the cloud, go "pop" again.
I haven't had much time for photography lately due to redecorating our home, so apologies for not being around much...but I'm sure you'll all make it through.
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Don’t know if this was taken as a stitched panorama, or not, but it does give that feeling of a very wide expansive view of the whole area, and the sky is quite impressive.
@gardencat It wasn't...just cropped, but I did like the sky :) @lsquared Thank you very much :) @awendes Thank you very much :) @lyndamcg Thank you kindly :) @gamelee Thanks very much :) @hobgoblin I'm so sorry, I'll try harder. @vignouse I love it when people say "a real photo" to me...it's like I've never used a camera before. As for "inequity"...it's a fun one but it really only works on paper ;) @30pics4jackiesdiamond I quite enjoy painting....sad but true ;) @maggiemae Then again, I may not enjoy it... @brigette Do they ever? And thank you :)
This reminds me of Oregon lighthouses. Like it in B and W...but of course you are master of that. Glad to hear you and Mrs S have moved from den of iniquity
Mmmm, a den of iniquity reminds me of hellfire, brimstone (whatever that is) and all that kinda stuff. Maybe not the best place to linger?? I rather like the shot nevertheless.
