Hidden in plain sight - a photo on Flickriver

We spent a night at the East Brother Light Station. The bed & breakfast inn sits on a small island located at the border of the San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay near Richmond. Innkeepers Bryan & Stephanie welcomed us with champagne & hors d’oeuvres upon arrival, served us a multi-course dinner with wine, and a gourmet breakfast the next morning. We learned about the history of the lighthouse, and got a demo of the very loud diesel powered foghorn. I took some night shots after everybody went to sleep.

I processed a paintery, a balanced, a photographic, and a realistic HDR photo from four RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
