Old Point Comfort Light
A digital infrared snap just prior to a thunderstorm. This light was put into service in 1803. She was seized by the British in the War of 1812 as they advanced towards Washington DC. Fort Monroe was built adjacent to the light to protect Hampton Roads, and Union Forces held the light during the Civil War. The lighthouse is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
