What a beautiful composition, looks like it was a beautiful day three - that bright blue sky is awesome!

What a great shot! And a creative take on the theme, too. The lighthouse looks so crisp against that blue sky.

A wonderful peaceful setting. Lots of contrasts and textures. The water reflection and the sky tie it all together. Beautiful!

Now that is history and longevity all wrapped in one package.

It is good to see any lighthouses still in use when so many are being replaced by modern technology. Love the white and blue combination and the balanced layout you have here.

It truly is a beautiful image. Wonderful contrast between the calm of your shot and what that lighthouse must have endured...

Love that lighthouse! It's the same one on my blog header. My husband and I went down there last year for our 25th anniversary. I like the angle--I couldn't (or wouldn't) get a shot from there as there were alligators in that area when we were there.

Lighthouses should never go away, but it seems they are fading fast. Great photo.
