I thought the trail through the grain field to the lighthouse looked pretty good and I liked the shadows here. Very muddy path though as it had rained pretty hard the night before.

I realise I have quite a lot of photos on Flickr which I uploaded years ago but never made 'Public'.
It may not be the tallest, but Perch Rock lighthouse always looks pretty.
Pigeon Point lighthouse is one of the tallest lighthouses in America and the tallest on the west coast. It stands 115 feet and perched on a 35-foot cliff in Pescadero, California. It was built in 1871 and still an active US Coast Guard aid.
The lighthouse was looking mighty fine in the early morning sun so I had to take a few shots of it.

Shot this photograph of St Mary's Lighthouse on Sunday the 20th of March. What was interesting when shooting was the black guys in the water on the causeway making a music video. That water had to be freezing.
Pigeon Point lighthouse was built in 1872 to assist ships with navigating the crushing tides in this region, which had claimed multiple victims prior to its construction. Namely, the Carrier Pigeon cargo vessel which was wrecked in 1853 while en route from Boston to San Francisco, giving way to the name Pigeon Point.
Pigeon Point lighthouse still remains a navigational landmark, but the original lens has been replaced by an electronic light outside the lens room and the lighting is completely automated.
I wish everyone to find their right lighthouse..

Cove Point Light Station is the oldest continuously operated lighthouse on the Chesapeake Bay. Located in Calvert County, Maryland, it's a nice and easy 60 minute jaunt from the D.C. and Baltimore metro areas, and a nice duplex vacation rental property.
Went to take a picture of the lighthouse this morning, tried to use the thrift to make an interesting foreground
Erected in 1870, this lighthouse stands on Cape Blanco, Oregon’s farthest west point of land. The Cape Blanco Light Station was put into service in1870, then automated in 1980.
It is one of the few lighthouses that you can climb and see the original lens, which is still operating. See the lens and staircase in the previous two images.
Have a great start to the new week ahead. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

"Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do." (Don Galer)
Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the most picturesque lighthouses on the Pacific coast. The tower stands on a rocky promontory and has long been a landmark for ships approaching San Francisco Bay from the south. This headland, and hence the lighthouse, took its name from the ship Carrier Pigeon that wrecked here in 1853. During our visit to the coast, we decided to stop by Pescadero and visit the Pigeon Point lighthouse. The 115-foot Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest lighthouses in America, has been guiding mariners since 1872.
The Noorderhoofd, also known as Westkapelle Laag, is the second lighthouse in Westkapelle next to the high lighthouse in the village.
One time, there is this lake
and uh, it was right outside of town.
We used to go fishin' and swimmin' and canoein' in it, and uh
[sniffle] this one November this flock o'ducks came in and landed on that lake,
and uh the temperature dropped so fast that the lake froze right there
and then the ducks, they flew off ya see
[voice breaking] and took the lake with them [small sob]
...and uh, now they say that lake is over in Georgia...
imagin' that. [sobs and starts to cry]

Confession time: If you visit the Tybee Island lighthouse, you won't find this view. The beach image was taken from the pier, a couple miles away.
