Oh, that's great, Brian. In addition to showing where you where, the oof lighthouse, especially with the turn of the seagulls head, lends your photo to other captions. "This view thing ain't nuthin'. You should see this place like I can." Wonderful photo, my friend. Excellent dof and amazing detail. #8291395
