Lighthouse  by maggiemae

Lighthouse

I walked down the road to this historic lighthouse from our unit ( still absolutely useless with internet). I was first in service in the 1880's and is still shining its light out 27 km out to sea. I've almost lost the plot with our internet connection - it is so useless - took 1/2 hour to even get a connection then wouldn't look at 365!. Kept failing. We have had to use our expensive Telecom stick which is now charging about $10 per mb! Better shut up now!
So sorry about your Internet! :0( I would be lost too! This lighthouse is very handsome....I like how you framed it up in this shot....with the way the fence is and like the white parking lot lines too!

Really like the composition here Maggie. Lighthouses are usually so tall, and this is just a little one.

@yonnie thanks Yvonne - it's freezing here and the ground is so wet- the outdoor wedding will be a bit soggy!

Thank you for the follow, Maggiemae!
Nice capture of the lighthouse, I like the subtle differences in tones on each of its sides and the way you've composed with the leading lines of the fence and the car park bay marks.
May 14th, 2013  
Lovely.
May 14th, 2013  
Beautiful capture, hope the internet problems would disappear soon.
May 14th, 2013  
Hope things are fixed soon. What a lovely lighthouse. Wonder what a night shot would look like? hint hint

Beautiful old lighthouse!

What a delightful wooden structure! Most of ours are brick or stone. but and increasingly redundant as digital navigation takes over.
