Hello dear friends,

Another photo of the lighthouse of Cap-des-Rosiers village in the entrance of the National Forillon Park in Gaspésie. Lighthouses exist to guide sailors when the storm is there. Here, not boats nor strong winds nor danger on the sea yet, but a big rain falls just 30 minutes after I have taken the photo.

Raw photo converted in JPG. I work levels, adjustment of colors and contrast with PS CS3.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Have a nice week!

Beautiful Annie ... dramatic foreboding sky, dramatic dark water, and nice brightly lit lighthouse in the distance and rocks in the foreground. Great shot!
You must be getting beautiful fall colors out there in the east?
Have a nice week Annie
Trudy

Hi Annie
beautiful presentation of the lighthouse
the sky is beautiful and it can see that the storm is coming.
take care
Riste

A nice minimalist landscape/seascape/cloudscape here Annie. I like the wide angle POV and that captures the dramatic clouds well.

I reckon an evening shot here with the lighthouse flashing would be a good photo too... With the blue hour sky..

Cheers
David

Annie
Wonderful colors of this sky and the wonderful light make a great capture.

Bonsoir Annie,

Beau paysage marin avec un ciel peu engageant, les details des rochers est bien réalisé. Des belle couleurs naturel et une profondeur de champs.
Une jolie composition dans l'ensemble.
Un bon dimanche.

Living on the sea side myself I ve seen this kind of weather many times Annie,I love the changing colors of the sea turning into black on the horizon.
The best possible moment to get a good picture.

Hi Annie,
A lonely shot. I like the way the white lighthouse stands against the dark clouds.
Sunil

Bonjour Annie,
Je suis impressionné par la perfection technique mais surtout par la présentation artistique. L'image est à la fois dramatique et magnifique. Bravo et merci du partage.
Denis

Such a wonderfully dramatic shot, Annie,
that foreboding sky, the dark choppy water and the clouds give a feeling of movement and menace. Like they emanate out from a dark and stormy place. The lighthouse stands out wonderfully from all the darks and grays and the rocks in the FG give it excellent depth. This is definitely a mood shot. And marvelously done. My many thanks and warm wishes,
Shelly

Annie, you are one VERY BUSY lady with a camera! And an excellent shooter, I might add!! This long range perspective of this historic old lighthouse is superb! The framing, cropping, and use of the dramatic clouds is excellent. Your use of Photoshop and other softwares adds so much to your images it is almost unbelievable, but very believable as portrayed here. Wonderful image!!

Hi Annie...great light and tones...excellent shot.

Annie
Superbe composition avec ce ciel fantastique. Beau travail de PP pour "dramatiser" encore un peu plus la scène.

dear Annie,
this dark blue sea is powerful and so impressive,
and this cloudy sky looks dramatic by its strong contrast,
those two make an attractive natural stage for that white light house indeed.
whole a little melancholic atmosphere seems one signal of the shadow of this autumn,
thank you,
Akihisa

What a beautiful view Annie! As always, your photos are majestic! Should be getting cooler there now? The water is beautiful, does it ever get warm enough to swim in it? I like your comp!

Greetings Annie,
I like the symbolism of your image.I think most viewers associate a Light House, as a warning beacon to assist ships
navigators in bad weather, to keep clear of dangerous shore lines. Your dark sea with the ominous stormy clouds above it,as well as though large foreground rocks, makes me think that your Light House will be helping some ship in a storm soon.So your image, IMHO not only shows the structure of the lighthouse but its reason for being.
Great Shot.
TFS

Hi Annie,
Excellent dramatic composition. Superb light an a fine contrast without OE or UE. A well balanced composition perfect according the rule of thirds.
Hans

Boa noite Annie
It is amazing...you can change the point of view but I can see always your way to look..and the light. I can feel it...superb approach.
Um abraço dear Annie

Hi Annie,
Wath a wonderful place and wonderful shot.
That beautiful foreboding sky, the dark stormy sea, strong grey clouds create on dramatic stage.
Excellent work.

Splendid sea area, pleasant for look at.
The imminent sky care for a very well contrast.

My lovely Lighthouse in the background.
Very well captured and nice composed.

Annie, it's masterpiece! I love deep emerald-blue tones of sea. The sky is so dramatic, so picturesque. Great shot!
Best regards, Ewa

Bonjour Annie.
