Back in early May I posted a photo of this girl on the beach in St Ives as part of my photo challenge on my other blog Travel Words. One of my blogging friends, Pauline, posted a photo of a lighthouse, so for fun I decided to blend the two.

Sorry, Jude, forgot to add, this is a superb composition.
Thanks Ark. Just a bit of fun 😊
ooh you are getting good at playing
Harder than I thought, as I couldn’t quite get the composition right.
Well I’m in awe of what you’ve created 😊
Very arty and so much good fun. Love this one, Jude!
Thanks Dina. It was your swirls that made me think about doing something with these two photos.
That’s lovely. We had our last Zoom meeting with the camera club yesterday and we had all made Christmas card. Many snow photos, I was the only one who dared put an overlay with snow on my images. 😉
I thought it was ‘one’ picture at first glance and thought it was breathtaking and a very lucky find. Now I know how it was made, it is still powerful.
Just goes to show that what you see may not be real.
Beautifully done Jude. The lighthouse looks so like the one on the Manukau Heads; the surrounding plants look like flax and manuka. Do you know if it is?
It was from Pauline in the Gold Coast. I think if you click on the link it takes you to her post where she may tell you where the lighthouse is.
Thanks Jude. I read Pauline’s name in your post but didn’t click on the link — and didn’t make the connection. I’ve just checked now and it is the Manukau Heads lighthouse 🙂
Yes you’ve got it Su. Manukau heads it is…
Yay. I love the Awhitu Peninsula, and the lighthouse in particular. I had a job once supervising research on Manukau Harbour beaches, and trips up to the bays at the Heads were my favourite ways to spend the day.
Sounds like a fab job to have!
It was! A summer job while I was doing my Masters. The research was funded by the Harbour Board, and it even came with a car. I also covered for some of the researchers and surveyed a few of the really quiet beaches. Basically I got paid to drive around, and go to the beach. Probably the best job I ever had.
If only all jobs could be like that!
Wouldn’t that be wonderful.
What a great job that was it is a lovely area. My son lives near Waiuku, so we always drive out there when we visit
It is a beautiful area, and I was totally unaware of it. Score I had the research job. Which was probably the best job I’ve ever had.
What did you think of the blend? And has the latest outbreak in Sydney interfered with your plans?
The blend looked very natural, well done. Sydney plans are all cancelled as of today…☹️
Oh, no. I thought they might have to be, unless you were already away. Are your borders closed again?
Not yet but could at any time, so not worth the risk of being caught down there. Now planning a quiet few days enjoying our garden and art. Had torrential rain so no need to water the garden, it can look after itself, as I had planned it if we were going away…🌺🌸🥂🎨🤗 hope your Christmas is a peaceful one
And yours PP. Love to Jack too. No point complaining about these matters. We just have to hope there will be better times ahead.
Wow, I think that is very cool! Photography is so awesome!
Thank you!
This is so beautifully done. Blended seamlessly and it looks like the images were meant to be together. Great work. If you didn’t say it was two photos I thought you’d saw a lovely view of a girl and lighthouse at the beach… It did look like a lovely view there in the first place 🙂
Thank you Mabel, just goes to show how photos can be manipulated.
