 I am fortunate to live just a few miles from the sea, about 30 minutes from my house there is a lighthouse very nice, giving small road goes for a mile into the sea.
We often go for a walk in this place one evening at sunset a magical light hit the lighthouse, there were some beautiful clouds behind.
I asked my daughter to walk around the lighthouse and when I saw the long shadow well I took the picture.

lighthouses are so cool looking... the sky looks like its going to be breaking out any moment with some awesome storms.. I was surprised to see the blocks around the base, I guess I was expecting to see regular natural more blocks.
Neat capture!

Such balance created from the imbalance of size.

There is only one thing that bothers me in this otherwise excellent image. The lighthouse is too centered.

nice scene, great inclusion of the kid and the shade, the ligh, wow, intense reds , even so , I think it is being overpowered by the clouds
