Hello dear friends,

After many rainy days, finally, the sun is shining!
Here, a photo taken yesterday at Pointe à la Renommée located at 60 kms of my home!
I already presented this same view, see my first post

This is an invitation for relaxing and having a good time! The Gaspesie is a nice destination for Summer vacation!

This place has an historic value. Indeed, this is the site of North America’s first marine radio station (Marconi, 1904) and the world’s most travelled lighthouse! In 1977, this lighthouse was dismantled and became a tourist attraction in Quebec City (at 660 kms), but was scheduled to have been repatriated to its original site in late 1997

Guided tours of two exhibits, one dealing with Marconi and the history of communications and the radio and the other which explores the lifestyles of the people who kept the light. Hiking trails on the mountain and along the seashore.

Technically, captured in raw and converted to jpeg. I cropped lightly on the right side and accentuated contrast. I made an other version in panoramic format, but, after many doubts, I prefered the whole sky!

Have a sunny weekend! Thanks for viewing and commenting.

Hi Annie !
beautiful composition here.
The vibrant red against the blues look really eye-catching.
Foreground shadows give some good depth too.

Best regards, Daniel

Excellent landscape in good light.

ciao Annie..
its really wonderful.. colours, details.. all talks to our heart!! i really love it!!
saluti from Stockholm!! ;))
ciao Marco

Bonjour Annie,
Tout d'abord une super photo que tu nous présentes ici ,un ciel magnifique et forte composition ,les trois chaises bien positionnées attendant l'invitation bien sûr !
Je me suis permis de voir la première photo de ce lieu magique et je suis étonné de constater une si nette amélioration , en fait un monde de différence et loin de moi l'idée de vouloir dénigrer la première Annie !
Merci de nous faire partager ton coin de province car j'en reviens ( Parc de la Gaspésie = marche en montagne ) et la température ne nous a pas gaté comme toi hier ! Bravo à toi,
Amicalement,
Carol

I must say, good skill in this composition and choice of pov. A good angle for the light and shadow play. Very nice shot.

I do not think there is any chance to have the chairs and roof to be below the horizon, not unless there is a platform to climb up.

and what a lovely capture Annie! Great colors and sharpness, but what I like best is the composition. The chairs really look very inviting in combination with the blue sky and the nice greens....
Yep... A wonderful image!

Bonjour Annie,
Quel beau point de vue, avec une belle place laissée au ciel qui la remplie du plus bleu qu'il peut. Il y a un contraste d'ombre et de lumière, de même que de couleur qui enrichie beaucoup la prise de vue. Bravo, c'est très bien vu, et à mon avis meilleur que la première publication avec une seule chaise.

Hello Annie,
it is adorable capture indeed,
i really love the vivid rich colours,
superb compo with perfect clarity and sharpnes,

Superb Annie, excellent contrasts and very well composed. This one deserved the sky. TFS,

Rahhhhhh !!!!!

So lovely sight and composition Annie .

How come it is so difficult to get this sunny weather when we are down there ? (LOL!)

The Red Lighthouse is striking here with his bizarre position. It seem so low (^_^). Of course , we do not see the cliff .

On a next visit , we will have to stop instead of passing by (^_^). Lovely invitation, that I will keep in my head (^_^)and remember in due course.

Enjoy your weekend after weeks of frenzy !
Cheers!

Really a wonderful image - in my opinion the better of the two. Love the red in contrast with the blues sky and water. having the empty chairs on the bluff is a real bonus.

Dan

Hi Annie.
I simply love it. Great light, colours and contrast. I love the compostion. Very good idea with not showing us whole lighthouse but just a top and three chairs. Really an invitation to visit a place and see more on our own eyes.

That sky is terrific indeed, but so is the panoramic version, I'm sure, Annie... I understand your dilemma completely.
Excellent compo, and terrific colour saturation. I'd like to park myself in one of those chairs right now ☺^☺.
Absolutely no nit-picks on this one!

Hello Annie!
Perfect clarity and great detail in your picture!
Wonderful colours and light!
Excellent done!

Bonjour Annie,
A welcome invitation indeed. I love the POV with the top of the lighthouse lending such a focal point to this very arresting composition. The image is so well balanced and the contrast is great between the red and the deep blue of the sea and sky.
As always, technically very good.
Have a good weekend, Joni

Hi Annie...this is an excellent shot...wonderful colors and details.

Bonsoir ma chère Annie,
je pense qu'il va falloir prendre un ticket au vu des nombreux messages qui souhaitent accepter ton invitation. Pour l'instant, je suis tellement bien dans mon nouvel "sweet-home" que je reste chez moi ;O)
En tous les cas, quelles couleurs renversantes (heureusement qu'il y les sièges), face à l'immensité de l'océan, tu pourrais presque voir les côtes française avec une bonne paire de jumelles zoom X 100000000. Merci de partager ses instants de rêve si justement photographiés (pour le workshop, la petite Annie a bien étudié sur TL, que de progrès)
Bisous et bel été.
Corinne

Bonjour Annie
Quelle belle invitation à ne rien faire, juste un peu de farniente sous un joli ciel bleu marine devant un décor marin. J'aime bien ce phare que j'ai déjà photographié à Québec d'ailleurs. Il semblait dépaysé sur le quai.
Les couleurs sont vives et le jeu d'ombre et de lumière sur le gazon invite à un repos tout en fraîcheur.
Bravo

We've not had a sunny weekend here but this beautiful image helps.
The red is just so RED and the lighting and incredible detail on the chairs, along with the shadowing, really set each other off.
Then all of that is bordered by the very blue sky.
Nicely composed and seen. Good job translating it and good note to go with it.
Thanks,
Wilt

Hi Annie!,
I accept!!!!! I love the bright saturated colors in this photo, Those chairs are just aching to have someone sit in them and enjoy that beautiful ocean view! Love the tip of that lighthouse peeking over the cliff edge, this is a beauty! TFS

Your shot is flawless, not to mention the fact that is an invitation to "piece and welaxation (relaxation)" :) What could be more wonderful than that? I will gladly have a seat, thank, you!

Ciel d'un bleu magnifique!

Exquisite quality and appeal! The boosted contrast gives this such a rich and deep feel...as if seeing it in 3D instead of a flat image. Marvelous subject and composition. Well done:) No, better than well done!

Annie,
Brilliant quality presentation - intense colour - unique composition - well, not quite unique because you've taken it before! ;)

What occurs to me - why didn't they build the lighthouse where the benches are? Since the whole height of the tower has only reached the height of the bench!!
