We went on the Dolphin Harbor ride at sunset. The boat captain saw me taking pictures of the place and slowed down. The lighthouse is privately owned and the captain said the light only comes on when the owner wants to turn it on..:) Sure. Anyway, I got lucky and the guy turned it on for us. Here's some more info:

The Aransas Pass Light Station was one of original Texas stations of the Lighthouse Service, that was formed in 1851, and merged into the Coast Guard in 1939.

The lighthouse is the second oldest on the Texas coast and the oldest surviving structure in the Aransas Pass-Corpus Christi area

When the Aransas Pass shifted, the light station was not needed and a new light was installed on Port Aransas. The Light was extinguished and the property delisted in 1952, and the property considered surplus. It was sold at auction in 1955. The channel was renamed Lydia Ann Channel and the light station Lydia Ann Light Station.

Current

H-E-B CEO Charles Butt purchased the light station, hired a caretaker, remodeled and restored the structures after a hurricane, and put the automated lighthouse back into service in 1988. It is currently the only light station on the Texas coast to have an on-site caretaker

Sorry about my absence. Too much work during the summer here in the woods ;-)

After a long time away from Flickr, finally I'm back and can admire your wonderful photos, dear friends.

The vision of my new eye is like a full hd monitor resolution and the vision of old eye is like a normal monitor.

My mind makes the average between them :-)

Thank all of you for the support in this difficult moment ♥

This photo shows the reverse side of Pulteney Bridge, which spans the River Avon in Bath. It was designed by Robert Adam in a Palladian style and completed in 1774. As with Georgian architecture, the reversed side is often less grand than the front, as in the phrase "Queen Anne front and Mary Ann back".

Taken from the pavement which runs alongside.

My friend Ann! It's great working with her!

Have a lovely day and thank you for dropping by!

this is my mom (in the back of the boat, running the motor) and my aunts Ann (center) and Susan (front), sitting in a little motorboat on Lake Champlain, in a town called Cedart Beach, Vermont, where they spent their summers growing up -- pretty sure this was taken in summer 1958

it's one of my favorite family photos, and so took it out of it's frame today & scanned it...
