On my way into work the other day, I noticed that the Charlotte Lighthouse had been decorated and was lit for the holidays.
Well I finished my work week this morning and for once the sky was clear, all day in fact. As evening approached I packed up my good old Canon SX20is digital camera and Slik tripod and pedaled north. One quick mile later I was greeted by this lovely sight...

To my mind, it is elegant in it's simplicity.
As if the opportunity to enjoy pretending to be a photographer in peaceful but cold weather wasn't enough, I received a second thrill. I was treated to a Moonrise on this peaceful, cold, and clear evening. See? There it is just to the right of the lighthouse.

I couldn't resist cranking this baby to it's full 80x digital zoom just to see what it could do...
