I made this card on a picture by New Zealand photographer Grant Sheehan, who has just
published a book about this country's lighthouses.

I greatly covet this book, and I intend to use my Christmas book voucher (Mr A gives me one
every year, bless him) to buy it just as soon as I can get to a bookshop.

The picture shows the Cape Campbell lighthouse illuminated by a full moon.
There is something truly magical about lighthouses isn't there? And that is a stunning photo.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being here this year - and a very happy, healthy and productive 2014 to you and yours.

Thank you for the links, thunder! I have read some of Lawrence Durrell's books, and greatly enjoyed them. I shall search out more...

You'll see 2014 before I do! Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year to, you! And that's a neat card. How is the house illuminated by the moon? The camera angle positions one right behind the other?
ReplyDeleteThanks John! I assume the moon was right behind the beacon light, which would have already been lit. This lighthouse is several hundred yards in from the beach, and stands on a small hill. I love the effect on the clouds. You can see it here: http://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/Commercial/Shipping-safety/Aids-to-navigation/Lighthouses-of-NZ/Cape-campbell-lighthouse.asp
DeleteAccording to Sheehan's notes, it was taken 3 hours after sunset.
