Photo Challenge - December 2011 - Taken For Granted

[Comacchio]

The theme this month is 'Taken For Granted', you can interpret this how you like.

The rules:


- The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being midnight on the 31st of December
- The exif must be posted with your shot.
- Keep the images posted to a decent size please, 1024px wide max.
- I will choose the winner this month (with the winner choosing the theme for next month, then deciding who should win that months)
- The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials.

A guiding light - often taken for granted lighthouses come into their own when mariners need them most, when things are going wrong.
