At the source of the light of a lighthouse
At the source of the light of a lighthouse

We spent a night at the East Brother Light Station. The bed & breakfast inn sits on a small island located at the border of the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay near Richmond. Innkeepers Bryan & Stephanie welcomed us with champagne & hors d’oeuvres upon arrival, served us a multi-course dinner with wine, and a gourmet breakfast the next morning. Shortly after sunset I went up to the light tower to observe the view. Nowadays the light source are powerful LED lights with small individual lenses to focus the light. The light can be seen for 14 nautical miles.

I processed a paintery, a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
