Old Building Sepia - Portland Head Light (15)
jpinkham Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Note Writer [C: 163 W: 1 N: 244] (1193)
One of the original lighthouses commissioned for the 13 colonies and dating back well over 200 years, Portland Head Light is near my childhood home and remains one of my favorite places to remember and to visit. For more on the history of this beacon, the Portland Head Light page on the “New England Lighthouses: A Virtual Guide” web site is interesting and informative.

Post-processing for the Friday theme was cropping and a sepia conversion in HP Photosmart Premier, sharpening, sizing, and framing in The Gimp. I've added a slightly rotated workshop version to respond to those who felt the horizon was slightly askew.

Rotational Adjustment End Result

OK, as noted, here is the -2.07° rotational adjustment in The Gimp. Hopefully, this attains the level horizon that has been discussed. Note that it's slightly smaller than the original because of the cropping necessary for the edge slices of the image lost to the rotation.
