Curving Fresnel Lenses
Concentrate light
Beam’s reassuring rotation
Cast blinks
Out across sea swells
From perch upon
Curvy coastline shore
Lighthouse curved architecture
Performs vital mission
Tina’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge #28 is all about “Curves.”
Beautiful curves! Love these selections, Jane.

Great shots of this magnificent lighthouse with all the curves, bells and lights not to mention the curving of the sea waves.

The inaccessible perches of some lighthouses astound me – I always wonder how the builders got the materials and the manpower to a particular spot to even begin construction, nevermind later getting the lighthousekeepers and their families there and back and keeping them supplied with their daily bread…

So true. I’m finding answers to some of what you are wondering about! A longer post about the lighthouses is in the works 🙂

I like the way you took the first shot, with the lighthouse tucked off to the side. I do love a good lighthouse.

Then you will like the post that I’m working on, Janet! There are nine historic lighthouses along the Oregon Coast… our last trip took us past five that we haven’t seen before. After a little more research that one will be ready to publish.

We surprised ourselves with how much we tucked into a five day explore.
Do you ever get the feeling that time changes somehow when travelling?

Sometimes the days stretch out forever and sometimes they go too quickly. But when I get home, all too soon it seems as if I never left.

Exactly… however, photos and having the blog to write and for reflection extends the experiences. Plus- a brain boost when we want to revisit. Love that search feature on WordPress blog!!

Indeed it is!
The maiden voyage with the RV last month took us past the lighthouses on the Oregon Coast that we hadn’t seen. I’m going to put that collection of photos in a post soon. 😉
