Photography->Lighthouses
This is the lighthouse is near my boyhood home on Point Prim, Prince Edward Island, Canada, so named by the French in the 1600s as being the first ('prime') point encountered as you navigate the Northumberland Strait toward Hillborough Bay and the present Provincial capital of Charlottetown. This round 60' light was the first on PEI, built of bricks in 1845 and later covered with wooden shingles for added protection (PEI buicks are soft!). It is now automated and is highly visible for many miles over about 300 degrees arc.

What a nice shot and it looks like it might be sunset. Nice placement of the lighthouse and the colors are so rich. I like that it is red and white and still used.

Never rebuke while you’re still indignant about a fault committed—wait until the next day, or even longer. Then calmly, and with a purer intention, make your reprimand. You’ll gain more by a friendly word than by a three-hour quarrel.

I think this is an early morning shot?...the sun is shining on that great looking lighthouse....and the soft tinging in the distance is a clue?
Great and beautiful shot!...........

It was taken in the early evening, during what I think is called the 'golden hour', when colours become really mellow and rich. I tried an autocorrection on the colour balance and it made the shot just like regular daylight, so I undid that and went with what you see here, which is just like it actually was.

Excellent capture Dave. It looks as though they take pride in this lighthouse too from how well it looks. So glad you shared a childhood memory with us. It really is a beautiful place and you have done it justice with this photo. The colors are so rich and warm.
