Fanad lighthouse, Donegal.

Colour and mono version. The weather was challenging but at least the driving rain was at my back. I was aware that clambering over wet and slippery rocks was starting to get more difficult and dangerous. Five years ago I would have been skipping from one precarious location to another without a thought and even the occasional moving stone would have caused me little trouble but now I take a lot more care.

I feel this way also. I am way more cautious now than in my carefree youth.
Looks like here bad weather made for good photos! You must have a good, stout tripod for those winds!

The B&W looks really nice but I find my eyes wandering back up to the color version with the bewitching greens of the swirling waters.

Wow Ken!!! I live lighthouses! What a sweet looking one. I sure like the mood in both.

The muted colors in #1 has a great appeal to it. I like that a lot. But I like the B&W th most. I like that timeless classic feel of it.

They both look good - hard to chose. However I keep going to the color version.

Thanks Michael, I use a Gitzo Systemic 3 which is pretty sturdy (not light) carbon fibre tripod. Ken
