Another killer shot of that light house. I agree with Bud down there - a book or a calender - or a set of cards. I bet they would at least sell locally very well, though these photos are just beautiful in their own right.

fabulous! Lots of great shots in this challenge, so top 10 is going to be tough, but this should be up there.

Could have cut the coast out at the left - there is something sitting on the beach that draws my eye toward it

I think I've seen this shot from the other side (or a similar subject) but it's still gorgeous and incredibly well done. Starry lights and soft, soothing pastels, great composition ... perfect.
