  8. That lighthouse is awesome. Glad you showed it in a monochromatic style as well as the lovely colors in the sky of the second one. When time is a factor, you have shown it is just as beautiful in one color.

  9. Oh be still my heart, this is an absolutely stunning representation of God's beauty - both naturally and in the colors of His rainbow! I love them both equally - the first one with it's simplicity in elegance and naturals, and the second one for it's burst of color! LOVELY, Lynn!
