Sunken Rock Light : Bad weather . . .
This image is included in 3 galleries :- 1) "Les phares V" curated by Olivier Autissier, 2) "Faros 2" by Isidre Llobet Teruel and 3) ''FARS III" by Montse (montse rocas).
Marking the largely submerged rock formation known as Bush Island, Sunken Rock is a little workhorse of a lighthouse built in 1847, and still in service today. The tiny island is fully occupied by the lighthouse and a boathouse. It is situated in the St. Lawrence River half a mile north of the town of Alexandria Bay, NY, and within sight of the famous Boldt Castle. It was converted to solar power in 1988.
The Thousand Islands (French: Mille-Îles) constitute a North American archipelago of 1,864 islands that straddles the Canada–US border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. They stretch for about 50 miles (80 km) downstream from Kingston, Ontario. The Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario and the U.S. islands in the state of New York.
The islands range in size from over 40 square miles (100 km2) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, or uninhabited outcroppings of rocks. To count as one of the Thousand Islands, emergent land within the river channel must have at least one square foot (0.093 m2) of land above water level year-round, and support at least two living trees.
This was taken during a Thousand Island Cruise (Gananoque Boat Tour). It was a windy, cold Autumn afternoon.
