Saint Augustine, Florida.

I featured a Cellpic Sunday photo of the Saint Augustine Lighthouse circular staircase in a February 2022 post here. That post will give you a lot of detail about the lighthouse and its reason for construction. I won’t duplicate that information here. In a future Travel Tuesday post, I’ll feature the entire lighthouse museum and its various buildings and exhibits. We found the museum so interesting, we visited it three times in the month we stayed at Saint Augustine. In the meantime, this Cellpic Sunday image is all for fun.

About the photo: The lighthouse compound has a brick fence around much of the grounds. As we were leaving the compound, I spotted a convex mirror mounted low to the ground and angled up. It only took me a moment to realize that its only purpose is to aid in the creation of selfie images. As you can see by the image, the mirror is mounted to make it easy to get a photo of anyone standing in front of the lighthouse.

Processing for this image was pretty easy. I used the crop function in Lightroom to make it a square image, then I shipped it off to Luminar Neo for the usual basic enhancements. By the way, the dark areas in the sky are darker clouds. While I was processing, I first thought they were smudges on the mirror. It was an overcast day at the time of this visit.

As we are in the last few days of our cruise to Barcelona, my Internet access is limited. Feel free to link and comment with your own Cellpic Sunday posts. I will be catching up on connecting with your posts when we return to North Dakota later this week.

I encourage fellow bloggers to create their own Cellpic Sunday posts. I never have a specific topic for this feature, and the only rules are that the photo must be captured with a cell phone, iPad, or another mobile device… If you have an image from a drone or even a dashcam, that’s acceptable as well. The second rule is to link your challenge response to this post or leave a comment here with a link to your post in the comment. Oh, and, you don’t have to post it on a Sunday.
