Point Loma Lighthouse

Point Loma Lighthouse

Nothing ever stays the same
Seasons turn like props that frame the staging
Frozen memories start to thaw
Losing track of what was so engaging
...A.J.C. ...

Point Loma was one of the original 8 west coast lighthouses, built in 1855 in the Cape Cod style that was used for all of them. The forty foot tower rises from the center of the keeper's house, fitted with a third-order fresnel lens. A5 foot, 3rd order fresnel lens from France and was installed. At dusk on November 15, 1855, the keeper climbed the winding stairs and lit the oil lamp for the first time. In clear weather its light was visible at sea for 25 miles.

I'd waste a lifetime just following you
You're a cheat, you're a liar,
a crook, you're a con, you're a thief.
But I still want to kiss you
and worship the air that you breathe.
...S.P. ...

We don't get many cloud formations like this in San Diego so I had to go out to grab an image or two.

That's the Cuyamaca Mountains behind the buildings and The Laguna Mountains in the distant background.

I fall in love too fast
It's never going to last
My heart shattered like glass
I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too fast
I'm never going to learn
How to play with fire and not get burned
I fall in love too fast
...N.A. ...

You think I act strange
Maybe just a little funny
Let me tell you when it changed
Last night when it was sunny
In the middle of the night.
A.O. ...

First image out of my new Nikon D7000. Worth every penny.

It's hard enough losing
Without the confusion
of knowing I tried.
But you've made your mind up
That I'll be alone
now there's nothing to hide.

One of the hundreds of murals in San Diego. This one is on the side of a building in a parking lot in Hillcrest.

Pallin around with my iphone 4 on my early morning walk.
