Fisgard in the Mist

This is the Fisgard Lighthouse near Victoria, BC, Canada from Fort Rodd Hill looking out on the Straights on Juan de Fuca. The little sailing tourboat was a nice little bonus as it came into the harbor.

Lovely, colourful and well composed scene, beautifully captured in the pale light.

Ed, This is a stunning shot. it would also fit in Man & Nature I think. Wonderful catch with the gaf rigged yawl, (I think) in the background. Colors, light, action, this has it all. devil

Ian and Patrick, thank you so much for your comments. Patrick, I will take your word for the gaf rigged yawl. Is that a Southern US type a' riggin', y'all? Sorry, my weak attempt at humor. . .

This is a very nice shot Ed! I love the comp and the colors. Not only is it very fortunate the yawl (y'all - looks like your sense of humor is simlar to mine - my wife keeps telling me I'm not funny but I don't let that stop me!) arrived at the right time, but it's even the right color. My only suggestion would be to try to brighten the lighthouse just a bit, perhaps by adding a small touch of contrast. It's very nice as is though.

Good work!

Ed: My one visit to this little light was in 2009 and there was construction/remodeling going on that foiled any kind of decent image. Glad you got the opportunity and took advantage. Congrats on the WP. >=))>

Hey Ed,
Well timed and composed image of a beautiful location, this would make a great 'Wall Hanger'.

Congratulations on the WP . . . devil
