PhotoHunt: Wide
This is the Hunting Island Light Station, located along the coast of South Carolina, USA. The light station was operational from the 1870s to the 1930s. The 136-foot tower helped hundreds of sailors- with its light covering a wide swathe of the Atlantic Ocean, visible up to some 17 miles or more than 27 kilometers away.
The two people by the Hunting Island Lighthouse are my parents, dwarfs vis-a-vis the tower but they are giants in my book. They exert a great influence on a wide range of aspects in my life; a huge deal of what I am and what I can be is because of the light and love they have shown in my almost 29-odd years of living =]
Yep, despite my stubbornness, God still made me win the parent lottery =]

The Light Station has got a pretty wide diameter :)
I love light houses! Perfect photo for Wide, especially since your parents are pictured with it. Great post!
That's one great light house you have there. It's so wide!

Love lighthouses...it's one of those subjects that you can "collect"...I've a long way to go before seeing them all! Good job getting it all in here...without distortion. Not easy to do.
Great wide shots and congrats on the parent lottery. Merry Christmas.
Nice photo!

Hi Doc Ian,
I'd like to invite you (and all other docs reading here!) to the TBR Christmas edition which I've volunteered to host.
The theme is memorable/unforgettable Christmas past or your childhood Christmas dreams and stuff like that. Deadline is supposed to be today but of course that's adjustable as time seems to fly so fast these days.
More details over at our TBR yahoo groups site.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
