Silhouetted in the morning sun, this photo is of the top of the tower of the Cape Blanco Lighthouse, which is located on the Southern Oregon Coast near Port Orford. It sits 256 feet above the sea and is Oregon's southern most lighthouse and is also the farthest westernly lighthouse in the 48 lower states. It was ligted in 1870 and can be seen for over 20 miles at sea. It houses a rotating second order fresnel lens in its 59 foot tower.

I think this could have achieved more if you had been able to capture the rotating action but I do like the lens and the way the sunlight is interacting with it. In the right challenge I bet a close up of that would make for a wow image. Good luck
Thanks...I always wanted to see these lights upclose and since I live in the mountains, there's a slim chance I'd ever see one up close! Dang, this image needs to be in the next contest where you shoot against the sun. It's always that way. :)
