 Thought I would try something different since I don't usually go for black and white or sepia photos. This is the old lighthouse at Fairport Harbor on Lake Erie. The light house was constructed in 1825 and the building next to it was built in 1871. This is now a museum. This was shot at dusk, the light is not the sun but lights that light up the buildings.

You got the coloring perfect, this looks very similar to a postcard of the lighthouse at Cape Meares Oregon that I just bought, circa 1890. Bump 9.

I don't like that bright thing in the bottom right corner, but the composition is good and the old-fashioned effect is very well done.

I couldn't decide if I liked the pink or not - and then I decided to like it :-) The smooth, subtle focus and light are nice. Great looking lighthouse!
