Weekly Photo Challenge: The Hue of You

For this challenge,  keep it simple:  share a photograph with a prominent color (or assortment of colors) that reveals more about you. It could be a symbolic, meaningful shade; a color that expresses how you currently feel; or a combination of colors that excites you and tells a visual story.

Something warm, something cold –  Romantic and old-fashioned , plain and new, that me.

Sadunomainen / Fairy- tale

I had to think about this one. Two of the pictures not Macros but  – something fairy-tale like is in them – or movie so I had to include them just for the topic

The main photo is as Macro as can be – it is a very close up of a lichen ( jäkälä) only thing I’ve done is enhanced the colors

Heceta Head Lighthouse – Oregon

Oregon coastline - one lighthouse and an other-13   Oregon coastline - one lighthouse and an other-20

The Heceta Head Lighthouse and Light Keeper’s house are circa 1894. Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The lighthouse is a working lighthouse. From a height of 205 feet above the ocean, its “first order” Fresnel lens, casts it’s beams some 21 miles out to sea. It is the brightest light on the Oregon coast. It is said to be the most photographed lighthouse in the United States.

The Heceta Head Keeper’s House is perched on a cliff with a magnificent view of the Pacific Ocean and the beach below. Paths from the Keeper’s House lead both to the beach and to the lighthouse.
