Brightly shining light

Forewarning of some danger

Guiding sailors home.

And many a sailor has thanks for the brightly shining lights perched on hill tops or precarious rocky crops. Many congratulations Ralph on your win in Annalise's contest. Have a great weekend....:)

I like the ambiguity here. Sometimes that can be frustrating, but not here. It gives this mystical heft and lifts it from the merely competent to the next level. Thanks, Ralph! Regards, Gerard.

Big congrats to you, my friend. As a sailor, the light in the distance could either be a lighthouse or lightning. Excellent comparison of the two images. Love, Carolyn
