My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

After reading the article about their sentencing, I feel they didn't get a harsh enough sentence, but it is in the right direction Great capture, Tara

nice one

I agree with Mike. I believe the pills that are available for padlock-obession may work for your similiar affliction. I declined the treatment myself.

Well done. 5+! Thank you for this one.

Pity about the story... makes me wonder about the evolution of mankind. I love your capture of the subject matter though! Clive

As usual, I very much like your asymetrical composition. Light is nigh onto perfect for the subject and time of day:)

How could anyone destroy anything as beautiful as this light. What a shame and I hope they make them pay for the repairs even if it takes them all their life. A lovely capture.

What a shot! I love this: the light (natural in this case) shining through the glass...the color. The composition. It's all perfect. As for the story of the vandals: well, I followed the link (that's what it's for, right?) and well...after reading the article and seeing the pictures of the vandals in question, I can only hope these guys don't breed! I mean, c'mon, in both cases, the bases of their necks are fatter than the tops of their heads! I just look at these guys and wanna ask each of them: "Did somebody pee in your gene pool?" With the examples of homo-non-sapiens notwithstanding, this is a gorgeous shot. I really like the way you've presented the information too...

Beautiful photo, Tara. I'm glad you got some good weather. To follow up on your story, one of these to Darwin-award candidates is back in jail. To quote from a story here, "According to police, he showed up at the sheriff's office to claim property from the lighthouse case, specifically items that had been seized during the investigation. Police said Pyle smelled of alcohol and appeared to be under the influence of drugs." I have to agree with Chipka; I really hope they don't breed.

Dennis (Cosine) beat me to the story. I, too, was going to let you know that at least one of these two idiots is back in trouble. I have very much enjoyed your fantastic pictures of this lighthouse.

Beautiful photo and great info!!

Great capture. A great shot, I like the headlights.

Too bad they didn't accidentally shoot each other. That kind of stupidity doesn't need to be passed along in the gene pool. What a beautiful light!

All my life I've been looking for a$$holes. Sure glad I didn't miss out. Love the mug shots. You can easily see the clear white light of stupidity shining out from their dull faces. And while we're ate it, if the damages are an estimated $500,000 how come these two lumps only have to pay $100,000? I say put them to work until the debt is paid. Oh yeah, superb image Tara. Were you hanging from a harness?

Very good POV and view !

A fantastic photo of this treasure, Tara! Such a beautifl and historic place. Don't even get me started about those two wastes of DNA.... They're damn lucky I wasn't the judge... These slackjawed idiots would never get near a firearm or a bottle of booze as long as they lived. AND they would work in prison at prisoner's wages until the entire half-mil was paid off. Morons....

A sad story But a wonderful image Hugs Susan~
