    Congratulations Kerry Perkins
    Lights

    This is a big light in a lighthouse in Oregon. The amazing thing about the giant (7 feet tall) fresnel lens is that these 50 watt lamps, which replaced kerosene lamps in the early 1930's, can have their light focused so that the beam is visible as far as 18 miles away. I used two passes of Topaz on this one, one Adjust and one Simplify. PS - the second bulb is there as a spare, which makes the system redundant in case of failure.
