  2. Wonderful textures. Isn't it interesting that peeling paint is somehow more appealing than a pristine red and white?

  5. This is so wonderfully balanced with the trees on the right matching the tower itself. Gorgeous color and a clever straight-on viewpoint.

  7. We don't have lighthouses in Idaho. Maybe a trip to Oregon is in order? I like the red. Is it a working lighthouse?

  8. I agree with Val in that the faded and peeling paint adds so much to the structure. And who would want to paint his?

  9. This weathered lighthouse is drop dead gorgeous especially with the green foliage framing it.

  10. From your perspective it looks almost like a toy. It would indeed be a whole 'nother building with a pristine paint job. Fabulous image.

  11. What a wonderful image. Your viewpoint is spot on... and I love the weathered look, and the whispy clouds in the background. Brilliant.
