Quoddy Head

East Quoddy Head Lighthouse, Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada  © Doug Hickok


MaesTro, your music is an inspiration and a beacon to those who listen. Wish we could be at your concert tonight, but 1,723 miles is a bit far for us to drive...
even for a stellar night out.

Break a leg!
(But not really because it's difficult to move furniture that way.)

P.S. If the woman in orange looks familiar to you, it is because she is!

Hope you and everyone else in the whole world has a great weekend!

    St George's flag?
    That's so pro-England.
    But then again, that's Canada! ;)
    Even the weather is so English. Ha!

    Excellent shot. The person in red is like the cherry on the sundae. The washed-out white sky is fitting.

    Lighthouse is very impressive at the brink of the rocks. Also liked deep yellow patches on the rocks. Well done.
    Have a great weekend Doug!

    I like how you composed this lighthouse shot. The person helps us grasp the size of the lighthouse and rocky wall. Nice shot.

    Oh how lovely. I think I've heard of this lighthouse (in a previous life I knew all about lighthouses), your angle is gorgeous. Happy weekend to you too!

    I'll always love a lighthouse, Doug, but even more so when it's as quaint as this one with its build and setting. You've framed it so well, too.

    yesterday was "blue", today is "red" - and a stunning red it is (though the parka is rather orange ...) - a gorgeous image of a gorgeous place, with so much to discover ...
    the red cross on the white lighthouse reminds me of the english cross of st. george. any connection?!?
    (thanks for your positive comment today, doug! what did becky have to say to the blue man with the cup?!? come back tomorrow and on sunday for two more exhibits of this show!!)
