I like the lighthouse house image.
The lone cow on the horizon helps put the size of the turbines into perspective.

Good morning Pauline. I am getting quite accustomed to my weekend visits to your beautiful country. My walk up the path to the lighthouse was just what I needed today. Your shots never cease to amaze and delight. Thank you. PAUL

Thankyou Swoffa. I hadn't seen this picture as you had, and now you point that out, yes it does show the perspective quite clearly.

These are such sharp bright images. The lighthouse is my favorite (it was hard to choose!), the contrast of the white against the bright blue sky is stunning. TFS.
