"Dusk"

Sailor by Cheyenne

The Lighthouse:
Old and Beautiful, Tall and Bright as it guides my Sailor home in the night.
Dark and Stormy sea,
the Hurricane tosses, his Boat rocks,
water breaches it’s Deck.
My Sailor’s in trouble,
His Ship as it begins to sink.
All hope is lost, until....
Until He sees Me,
My shadow cast out on the Stormy sea,
casting out miles away,
the powerful light within the Lighthouse,
guides my Sailor home again.
Safe and Sound, my True Love is found.
The Lighthouse stands Tall and True, perched on top a cliff,
Old and Beautiful.
A symbol of Our strong Love.
Faithful We are to It.
It’s faithfulness is forever to our Gratitude.

This is a view of La Corbiere Light House in Jersey, CI, that I discovered for the first time this summer. This has become one of my favorites. I look forward to going again next year. I love seaside skies. They can be so romantic and sometimes mysterious, and the sound of the waves crashing upon the rocks or the much gentler shore line. The poem was above was written by a friend here on Redbubble, Cheyenne. please do check out her profile.
The current number of views for this is 657

    Supeb photograph. The smoothness of the sky really complements the water and rocks. Very well done.

  • Bradley Shawn ... replied

    I really appreciate it. I was so happy with the way this shot turned out.

    This shot is beautiful – how did you make the sea so milky?

  • Bradley Shawn ... replied

    Thanks. It was a long exposure shot. I used a graduated grey ND filter to allow me to focus and shoot to get the long exposure on the sea without washing out the sky. The tide was coming in which helped.

    Very very beautiful, it looks like the lighthouse and land are floating on a sea of clouds with mountain peaks poking up through. It would make a fantastic image for some sci-fi or fantasy story.
