Next to the lighthouse keepers' home was a lovely, large old gazebo topped by a curious, antique ornamental wind vane. I captured photos of the lighthouse and gazebo together. I then made this poster including some lighthouse historical data. (See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Simons_Island_Light">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Simons_Island_Light</a> for more historical details) ... "The U.S. government constructed a new lighthouse to replace the original, building it to the west of the original's location. It is a 104-foot brick structure completed in 1872 and was outfitted with a third-order, biconvex Fresnel lens.".... "The rotating lens projects four beams of light, with one strong flash every 60 seconds. A cast iron spiral stairway with 129 steps leads to the galley (or watch/service room)." ... "The Lighthouse is reputed to be haunted by the GHOST of lightkeeper Frederick Osborne, who was killed in a duel with assistant keeper John Stephens in early March 1880. One account had Osborne, apparently a chronic faultfinder, making an inappropriate remark to Stephens' wife, the other had Stephens making unwanted advances on Osborne's wife. At any rate, standing 98 feet apart, Osborne had a pistol and Stephens a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Stephens fatally wounded Osborne and was later acquitted of any charges." ... "Stephens later reported hearing footsteps ascending and descending the tower steps and blamed it on Osborne's GHOST. .... Multiple witnesses have reported hearing the sounds on the steps, including Coast Guardsmen while doing routine maintenance of the light mechanism. The belief is the fastidious Fred Osborne is coming back to check and make sure that the light is properly cared for." ... "On November 30, 2013 a paranormal investigation group called LDLParanormal, claims to have identified electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) and recorded them on video with the alleged actual voice of Frederick Osborne. ... "Years later, looking closely at a blow up of this poster image, I saw a scary, haunting, shadowy figure with a strong, angry face staring out at me from a gazebo window. I also saw an unexpected, unexplained bright aura, a GHOSTLY orb of light shining behind the figure. ... Wait! Could this APPARITION actually be the long deceased, but now reappearing GHOST of the ancient lighthouse keeper, Frederick Osborne?! Was he again searching for John Stephens to get his Final Revenge?! Why would the GHOST appear before me? Was his appearing actually captured in my camera photo?! Have YOU seen him, too? ... So now, how does this ancient, authentic lighthouse story and this special, GHOSTLY photographic documentation make YOU feel?! SPOOKY?! ... SCARED?! ... PARANORMALLY CHALLENGED?! ... BEWARE VISITORS ALL! YOU HAVE NOW BEEN ... F O R E W A R N E D !!!!</p></div>A Girl in A Barnhttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/photo1/a-girl-in-a-barn2016-04-12T19:32:44.000Z2016-04-12T19:32:44.000ZGeorgia Doyle (brushhandle)https://www.artfairinsiders.com/members/GeorgiaDoylebrushhandle<div><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/9418887281?profile=RESIZE_400x&width=257"></div><div>Oils on stretched canvas.

This painting is a calla lily from a bouquet given to me by my husband for our 3rd wedding anniversary. This flower has extraordinary color, a sensuous form, and delicate beauty. The solitary composition brings out the symmetry and fluid curves of this lily.</div>
