WW- Mysterious

Lighthouses are such solitary images.  Yet instead of thinking of loneliness and isolation I think of them as mysterious and romantic.  Why is that?

  1. Because they are! Anything related to the sea is mysterious and romantic, isn't it? Lovely shot.

  2. I wonder if it's because they are always portrayed that way in books? I can think of a handful of books off the top of my head that have a lighthouse involved in one form or another.

  4. I always wonder who is at the top keeping watch. Although pretty sure that doesn't happen anymore these days, I like the thought of it...

  5. I love them too. And they speak romance to me also--waves crashing, guiding people to safety...

  6. They are romantic--on the tip of nature, alone and near adventure.

  7. I love lighthouses and collect them, actually I like collecting the ones I photograph or my husband. I think of them as romantic too and comforting somehow and very peaceful.

  10. Oh, that is one of my favorite places in the world! Sitting on the other side of that happy, red lighthouse, with my back to the world, and the endless water stretched out before me...ooooh, I love it! I have photos of our Sheb. lighthouse everywhere with me here in Colorado to remind me that God has my back, and God has my future. Mysterious, romantic and just wonderful!

  11. Who doesn't love a lighthouse? You have such a beautiful lake and get the most serene shots. I could stare at this all day if I didn't have school-morning chaos happening just behind me :-)
