To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive. ~Robert Louis Stevenson Scottish author (1850 - 1894)
Lighthouses are such attractive buildings, aren't they? I suppose it's partly because most were built when people took a little more care in their designs and pride in the building.
And of course, they're usually out somewhere wild and empty, which helps.
I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.
James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Beautiful image and very thoughtful quote. Well done.
I've been enjoying catching up with your world! Love it, I wanna live up there in your area!
I especially love the pelicans and the great quotes!
thank you Robin! And thank you Pablo!
There is such a humbleness to this photo in spite of its upright stance. It's intriguing for sure.

Lovely shot!
