Point Wilson Light.
Point Wilson Light (1879), is one of the most important in the state, overlooking the entrance to Admiralty Inlet, the waterway connecting the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound. Reinhold

Beautiful image of the Point Wilson light, Reinhold! I've sailed by it many a time, but never took the time to photograph it (when I was in Port Townsend, I devoted myself to sailing - I'm doing a lot more photography now that I've sold my sailboat)

Best,

Doremus

Dislike effect of excess $.

Hendrik, I owe you a few images.

I have not forgotten.

You owe nothing, but I would like to get.
And I am not in a hurry,
best greetings

This is the old Fayette county courthouse in Lexington, Kentucky. Back in the day, there was a slave auction block behind the courthouse.



Here is a gargoyle that guarded the main entrance to the courthouse.

Looks like a lions head to me or can a lions head be a gargoyle?

view from gothic (about 1580) tower of St. Blasius Church in Hann.Münden. Surrounding houses dated from 1100 (one of the ones you see here, I do not know which one). The city is rather well maintained.
Scan from Ilford FP4 neg, taken by handheld Cambo wide. I will show a corresponding little copperplate photogravure in alternative...thread.
Unfortunately wood timbered houses still are destroyed in other places.
End of september I will show a (partly digitalistic) solo exhibition within this tower about 30 m upstairs, details later.
