My contributon to this thread ... lighthouse from France (can't recall the name of the place)

Now that looks like it could be Calais. Does that ring a bell?

So many great lighthouse pix! I like the sky colors on the last two. I hope this thread keeps going until every lighthouse is represented.

Nice shot Geoff. The starburst added a nice touch. Kind of a when-you-wish-upon-a-star look.

Thanks George. I still have the filters - so I might hang on to them for the A-200. I will be selling the OM2 though & all the other SLR stuff. Sad - but sometimes we have to move on.

Oddly enough, I'm hanging onto my Nikon manual kit. It's lost so much in value since digital came out that I'm keeping it for antique value. I have a feeling that since so many people are simply throwing their manual kit in the trashcans that the value will rapidly escalate. Also, there will be periodic revivals such as the current revival in pinhole photography.

You know that's true, I might just take advantage of this situation since I still use my FE once in a while.

Here is a small lighthouse off the coast of Plymouth, MA, from a whale watch we went on last weekend.

Excellent! Do you know the name of the lighthouse?
