Sandy Hook Lighthouse in northern NJ is the oldest working lighthouse in the US, dating back to 1764.
The Red Hook Stores is a Civil War era warehouse for cotton, jute, coffee and other goods. More recently it was home to a Fairway Supermarket which has since been replaced by Food Bazaar.
Here's a similar view from June 2006 and from another angle on the same day.

For almost 800 years the lighthouse at Hook Head has shone a beacon for sailors off Ireland’s South-East coast, making it one of the oldest working lighthouses in the world.

Not too far down this same stretch of county road another incident arises. A pirate’s cannon blocked the road, and judging from the motley crew of pirates that blocked the road, they meant business. The one pirate stood ready to ignite the powder and send a cannonball into the stunt truck. No time to mess around with these guys!
“Okay, what do you want?”
Captain Hook raises his sword and demands all the treasure. Captain Jack Sparrow raises his sword and says, “Not so fast. This is my capture. It’s my treasure.”
“No, it’s not, Sparrow! I kept patrolling this road and tonight is my night to claim the booty.”
“Ahem. That’s Captain Jack Sparrow to you, so get it right.” Captain Jack was notorious for making sure people knew his correct title and name. We can’t have a pirate go down without properly identifying his credentials.
“Either way, ‘Captain’ Jack Sparrow, this cargo is mine and I intend to take it. Ready the cannon!” Captain Hook was about to let loose one cannonball as a threat.
“Oh, please, don’t shoot! This is not my truck. I borrowed it to get some, uh, barrels back to their rightful owners.” He sweated that out, having to think on his feet, if ghosts could actually do that without having feet.
“Oh, alright then. Stand down on the cannon!”
“Aye, aye, sir!” the pirate replied, but he kept his torch lit just in case the command would change.
“Now, about this barrel. Does it contain rum?”
“I know it is not liquid, and I just had its contents crushed to smithereens at the lab at Mystery Castle.”
“Mystery Castle!” both Captains said in shock.
“Yes, Mystery Castle, or as you pirates would say, ‘the Castle of Mystery’ just to fill the pages in your ship’s logbook.”
“How would you know we pirates get paid more gold when we add words to our logbooks? Who told you that secret?” Captain Hook was very demanding of an answer.
But Captain Jack Sparrow saved the day. “You know, gentlemen, and I use that term lightly. We pirates go back a long way, and that silly legend still hasn’t been proven. So, knowing that whatever is in those shipping containers to be crushed, let’s let this poor bloke go on his merry way, and we call it a night and go home. I have some rum that is calling me to test the quality of its content to see if it is palatable to drink.”
“Need any help?” all the pirates asked in unison.
“There’s only a small amount in a small bottle, just enough for my nightcap.” With that, Captain Jack Sparrow quickly disappears into the darkness.
“Okay, guys,” Captain Hook commands. “We can take away the cannon. We won’t be needing it anymore tonight.”
“That’s good, sir. We ran out of cannonballs yesterday, so all we could do is fake it. It worked, didn’t it?”
“And get rid of that pie rat, too. He’s not one of us.”

The Sandy Hook Light, built in 1764 and the oldest working lighthouse in the United States, is located on the grounds of Fort Hancock.
Afternoon severe thunderstorms and some extreme weather blowing through Colorado. Watch this mushroom cloud light up with some amazing strikes 15 minutes before I could get to this location for a good composition. It was really heading out by the time I got here but the clouds were amazing with the day before the blood moon above and fantastic light and color. Power Reservoir, Longmont Colorado.

It was my mums birthday last week, so I had plenty of flowers to photograph when I visited today! It may seem odd but the centre of this freesia reminded me of a grappling hook!
Large on black! :)
The Sandy Hook Lighthouse is the oldest standing lighthouse in the United States. Located in Sandy Hook, Monmouth County New Jersey, the 103 foot tall, octagon shaped lighthouse stands at the center of Fort Hancock, a former army base that was setup to protect the New York Harbor approaches. The lighthouse first came into service in 1764 and a lighthouse keeper actively manned the light until approximately 1913. During the revolutionary war the British captured the lighthouse. An attack by the Continental Army led by Benjamin Tupper tried to to destroy the lighthouse with cannon fire to render it useless to the British, but after an hour of volleys, he “found the walls so firm that the cannon fire could make no impression.” The British continued to hold the lighthouse for much of the rest of the war. The lighthouse is now run by the National Park Service and is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area.
