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.
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.
