Default California Lighthouse + Baby Beach Tree

Just got back from a week in Aruba. Of about 400+ pics I took I really like these two the most (there are many that I like but this one really sticks out).

California Lighthouse




Baby Beach Tree

Thanks. I shot these in RAW so I'm going to see if I can do an HDR with 1 RAW image file. Hope to bring out some details in the clouds.

Very nice photos. I have always liked light houses for some reason. Thanks for sharing...

Very nice shots. The little tree looks like it has taken a lot wind abuse!

The trees on the island appear to grow the way the wind blows. Its just easier on them.

Love the tree shot....for some reason that isolated tree makes me feel as if the beach would be very private & peaceful. Nice shot!

Wow, two of my favorite things... lighthouses and 'odd' (for lack of a better word) trees. The lighthouse is beautiful, and I am so jealous you were able to photograph that tree... but then again, at least someone did and you did an amazing job. Looking forward to more pictures of your trip.
