Communication/Navigation Tower at Sunset on Gogland (Hogland, Гогланд) Island in the Baltic Sea/Gulf of Finland from the deck of the MV Explorer.

I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

+John Roach In the cold war era I wouldn't have been able to take this picture since the island is Russian. It was interesting that as we sailed towards Russia that a British/NATO jet did a flyby.
Wonderful colour and light!
Gorgeous. Well done, David. Reminds me of similar images from New Mexico's White Sand National Monument.
