Pretty view this morning

Visitors ask why my cloisonné artwork of Loons has such strange reddish-bluish colors in the waters.

I get those colors from our Lake Winnipesaukee sunsets. When I get around to print the negative some day, this shot will be more intense in color.

I count nine whitish-yellow lights running along the dock in the original post, dock photo, and one on the shoreline, for a total of ten lights. These look like 110-volt powered lights due to their intensity and large size.

As seen from a neighbor's property across the water, or down the shore embankment, all this lighting is most likely not appreciated by the neighbors. It looks more like the Las Vegas strip at midnight than a dock on Lake Winnipesaukee. It is way too bright!

Also, it highlights the problematic use with placing 110-volt power on a dock with wires that may leak voltage into the nearby water, wires that can deteriorate over time and become a painful electric hazard for swimmers, both for people or for your pet Barney the basset hound who loves the water ....... arrrrroooooo ..... arf-arf ....... zap! zap! zap!

Those are standard 12v low voltage incandescent lights powered by a 110V transformer. Pretty standard setup.
