El Faro de Punta Higuero
It’s not the most beautiful lighthouse, but the location is what makes this lighthouse special. Located in Rincon, Puerto Rico, the lighthouse is surrounded by a park, and the beach there is a popular spot for whale watching, sunsets, and surfing. In this image the water is behind me and I am facing east, where some menacing clouds rolled by. Go back a few posts and you will find a couple of other images from this location.
a wordpress birthday
So WordPress sent me this message today: Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com! You registered on WordPress.com 5 years ago! Thanks for flying with us. Keep up the good blogging!
Just want to say thank you to my WordPress family. To all of you who have connected here… thank you for your comments and conversations, your support and AY-MAY-ZING talent. I am grateful.
In WordPress years I am officially 5 years old. So, as far as photography and blogging go, that would make me a kindergarten student. Yup! That’s about right. Thanks everyone!
To celebrate, here is a favorite image. This is the interior of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York.
toolbox
My daughter and son-in-law rent the main level of a beautiful old home in the awesome Bridgeport neighborhood of Chicago. When you walk into the basement it feels like you take a step back in time. I am almost sure I heard this old toolbox say, “Take my picture!”
two sides of the same college
Recently I chaperoned a group of amazingly talented high school students to a Chamber Choir Festival held at Augustana College, Rock Island, IL. These two images are of “Old Main”, constructed from 1884-1893. It is a magnificent structure, standing proudly as the architectural and historic heart and soul of the college. It was just the beginning of the colors of autumn, so next year I will need to return a bit later to see this beautiful campus show off its colors.
wrigley building
The beautiful, iconic Wrigley Building, downtown Chicago. All because of chewing gum…..wow….
south haven 3
The last image from a wonderful motorcycle ride last August with a friend that featured a stop in beautiful South Haven. You are looking at the catwalk that leads to the lighthouse.
south haven 2
So….. I imagine this sea gull, (if they fly by a lake are they called lake gulls?) while reflecting on this faithful, old lighthouse that has been keeping watch for years, suddenly being stunned by the question that has now formed in his bird brain: who keeps watch over the lighthouse?
south haven
South Haven, Michigan is….well…..for me it’s a haven for the memories that I have left there… I like to think that old lighthouse keeps those memories safe… each time I return I find them there…. I like that…
