Taken some years ago from a car window right before the pouring rain.
Used some old Ekctachrome.
There are obvious flaws here, ............ so what would you do with it?
Show me!

Straightened horizon, converted to B&W, applied sepia, selectively sharpened the brick.

When my eyes were just getting sleepy Harvey had to go and blind me.

This is an in between from the others. I think Harvey's seems to have the strongest appeal. I like the Art Deco Look.

btw Mike is this lighthouse at the Harbor where the filmed The Perfect Storm?

I gotta like Greg's B&W rendition. BUt if a colour image is required, Al's is pretty nice! (But it could use a bit of sharpening.)

So far, I like Als the best. I'd just pump it up a bit more like this.

It is the Annisquam Lighthouse around Gloucester, Mass.
I think this is the one that was in the film. Have not seen the film again since it came out. (Need to watch it again!)
I know that the lady who took me on a tour of places that many do not get to see, knew the history and the events that took place during that storm very well, and knew those who died.

I love it up there!!!
