Unless you are in a boat, or walk the breakwater, you aren't going to get any closer to this lighthouse in Ashtabula Ohio, on Lake Erie. I tried walking closer, but I started getting splashed by waves coming over the wall. I don't mind getting wet, but not while using the camera.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

I was walking on rock just like this to take a lighthouse picture today an fell on my hind side. All most went into Lake Erie. But a saved my camera and only hurt my pride. Nice picture storm picture. Clouds look very threatening. I hope to post my LH pix tomorrow.

Must protect the camera at all costs! I am with one on that one. I like the water action splashing over the rocks that you have captured.

So is good Jimbob. That looks a treacherous path with cracks everywhere on the breakwater. Not worth the risk. Nice shot with the lighthouse in the distance and the silvery spray.

The reason why the sunsets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

There is not much to add in all the praises of your image. Jim. But I try. Very good composition, with a beautiful line in the picture. The light is very good, and waves lapping up against the rocks makes the picture dramatically. In other words, an excellent picture Jim.

Jimbob - A beautiful look down the seawall to this wonderfully sunlit lighthouse. A bit of noise in the sky is the only downside to this great scene. Thad
