It did not elaborate.Lauriehttp://capturethisphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162216607078450282006-10-30T08:56:00.000-05:002006-10-30T08:56:00.000-05:00David that's a good question and I saw no explaination and didn't have time to speak with the docents at the Lighthouse as I was pressed for time to finish the Lighthhouse Challenge. I will try to get more info.<BR/><BR/>There are 3 towns with Wildwood in their name; Wildwood, Wildwood Crest, and North Wildwood. Probably something with absorbing the town of Anglesea for economic reasons. Not sure though.Lauriehttp://capturethisphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162215924178188462006-10-30T08:45:00.000-05:002006-10-30T08:45:00.000-05:00excellent couple of shots - i especially like the wonderful lighting in the second shot. fascinating to read the accompanying narrative too; i wonder why the name change from anglesea to north wildwood?davidhttp://roadtonowhere.my-expressions.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162213622635327362006-10-30T08:07:00.000-05:002006-10-30T08:07:00.000-05:00Beautiful, I especially like the second shot - it looks like such a warm and cozy corner to hang out in.Steve Whttp://www.watchthisspace.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162202348038583182006-10-30T04:59:00.000-05:002006-10-30T04:59:00.000-05:00Yet another great lighthouse shot Laurie. I like the first one a lot, especially the way you caught just a hint of the trees around the top corners. Gives a nice sense of perspective.Stardog Championhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15812874779665654966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162188065845514912006-10-30T01:01:00.000-05:002006-10-30T01:01:00.000-05:00I love lighthouses and yours are beautiful.

But, when I looked at the image as a black and white I thought now that's going to work and went from there. I also have a fondness for black and white. I think that fondness was born out of the hours of processing black and white in my basement darkroom when I was a youth.Lauriehttp://capturethisphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162127318125920132006-10-29T08:08:00.000-05:002006-10-29T08:08:00.000-05:00This is an amzing light-house. it has a very European look ... and your capture is excellent.

I feel that the color of the flowers would be a good contrast against the bow of the boat.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about disappointing anyone. Just say what you have to say through your images. We'll still be here ... at least I will!Paulhttp://paullesterphoto.com/pixelpost/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162080857026556292006-10-28T20:14:00.000-04:002006-10-28T20:14:00.000-04:00Don't ask me why, but I absolutely love the bottom shot :)<BR/>Loving the monochrome feel of the shot. <BR/>SubySubyhttp://suby.shutterchance.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22699077.post-1162061107194346352006-10-28T14:45:00.000-04:002006-10-28T14:45:00.000-04:00Ignore the pressure, don't dissapear, the photos are enjoyable no matter how frequent or infrequent they appear. <BR/><BR/>Whoever built this did a great job of marrying the practical with the artistic.
