You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

***ATTENTION***Please help me! I'm about to buy my DSLR in a few weeks for my 21st birthday. Check out the discussion about it here.
Also, I'm trying to bring Caedes to myspace, so check out the thread here.
Thanks for all the comments. It is not an hdr shot. I did put a different contrast curve on the sky, but the rest is just the result of a 2 second exposure and circular polarizer.
Straight to my faves, and thanks for the info on the exposure time, filter and post processing that you used, or didn't use. I was curious too. This is a truly great upload, and makes me more determined than ever to get there one day...it's not all THAT far !! :)

good to see you being productive on the east coast!, i'm just curious, did you take a landscape version of this with a little less sky, and foreground rock? this is a very classic landscape, although the quality of the rocks is not usually paired witha good lighthouse. now you need to merge two versions of this location, one where a fog rolls in and you can see the beam shining through the mist and the sea you have
I've got about a hundred of different shots similar to this one:P. Most of them are actually landscape ones. I'll get around to posting a few like that too. It is hard to decide which ones i like the best. The water is different in everyone.
this picture reminded me of swiss flight 111 that went down off the coast of peggy's cove in 1998, had to walk the beaches there looking for body parts and the like....not a glamourous job I can tell you...
Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
