Metrobeach Light in Snowmelt Fog

Metrobeach Light in Snowmelt Fog, by Mary Stebbins.

This is one of my three official submissions for the "Off Season" Theme. I made this, not from whole cloth, but from pieces. I took the original picture at Metrobeach at a miniature Golf course. I psoted some of the steps at BP. I spent so much time working on it that I also had to submit it at BP because I didn't have time to submit anything else.

I think this is wonderful work. Very imaginative Mary. I love the colours especially the blue. I think the ducks might have been better transposed so they look like they are swimming away from the tower.
It is totally looney, the whole concept of having a lighthouse with a rough icy sea/lake at the back which flows straight into a calm, glass surfaced lake with smooth reflections.
Now who would choose to have a lighthouse here? Hmmm - could it be that crazy lady with the big imagination?

Thanks, gals! After all the work I did on this, it is a long ways from perfect, but it was fun and I learn a lot with every attempt.

I was picturing the lighhouse wbeing art of a breakwater like bug light in Maine so that the water out would be rough but on the inside, calm.
