The view looking down the spiral staircase inside the First Cape Henry Lighthouse. It's in great shape thanks to Preservation Virginia. It was completed in 1792 and is a National Historic Landmark located on the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. Once at the top you'll have a great view of the second Cape Henry Lighthouse completed in 1881 and the coastline. Thanks for the views, comments, and faves. #FirstCapeHenryLighthouse #spiral #shadows #lines #lighthouse #CapeHenryLighthouse #NPS #U.S.NationalRegisterOfHistoricPlaces
