<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Visiting Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For the past 14 years I have been able to visit Jupiter Florida each March. One of my favorite activities there is to visit the lighthouse and to photograph it from various locations. I have posted some of these photos on this blog in the past and now I want to share some updated photos from this year. The photo above was taken on the boardwalk across the inlet from the lighthouse. I love watching the boats passing in front of the lighthouse.</span></div>

Three Historic Lighthouses</h2>

<span style="font-size: large;">Erie Pennsylvania boasts three historic lighthouses. On a recent trip my husband and I stopped in Erie and I was able to photograph all three lighthouses. The photo above shows Presque Isle lighthouse which was built in 1873. It is open to tours but we arrived just as it was closing so I only got photos of the exterior.</span></div>

In the 1800's this lighthouse was an important navigational aid, today it is fully automated and used as a private navigation aid.</span><br />

<h2>
Three Mid Coast Maine Lighthouses</h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the 1800's the mid coast of Maine was a thriving economy for limestone, ship building and fishing. The harbors in the area were bustling with business and a need for lighthouses arose.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">On a visit in June 2017 we stopped at three of these lighthouses.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">Marshall Point Lighthouse</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In the photo at the top you see Marshall Point Lighthouse which stands in the harbor near the town of Port Clyde. It is a very picturesque lighthouse and was fun to visit and photograph. The long gangplank leading up to the lighthouse was seen in the movie <i>Forest Gump</i>. You can read more about the lighthouse and Port Clyde in this article <a href="http://www.reviewthisreviews.com/2017/07/review-of-port-clyde-maine.html">Review of Port Clyde</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Owls Head lighthouse is located at the eastern edge of Rockland Harbor. It sits high on a bluff and is a rather short, squatty looking lighthouse.

<h2>
Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse</h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The third lighthouse we visited was Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse. It sits at the end of a 7/8 mile long granite breakwater that guards Rockland harbor. This lighthouse is 25 feet tall and was first placed in service in 1902. It still serves as a US Coast Guard navigational aid.</span></div>

Photographing Lighthouses</h2>
<div>
I am an avid photographer and photographing lighthouses is one of my favorite retirement activities. When I travel to a new area I want to make sure that I find the best places to photograph and the best vantage points from which to photograph.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have found that the best way to make sure I accomplish my goal is to look at photographs from other photographers that have been to the area. In the photograph below, I captured this lighthouse off the coast of Maine. I had seen the photo in a guidebook and I went off to capture the lighthouse from the same point of view. I found it in the section of the book from the Boothbay area of Maine and I was really fortunate to find that there was a little boat docked in the foreground that I could get in my photo.</div>

<br />
The link below shows the guidebook that I used on our trip to Maine. I found it very helpful in finding places to photograph and in supplying directions to get to each of the locations. The book is divided into sections on each area of the Maine coast. It is easy to follow and full of great photographs.<br />
<br />

Here is another photograph I took after following the directions in the guidebook to arrive at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. I love the rock formations leading up to the lighthouse.<br />

On a recent trip out east we made a stop at Old Fort Niagara lighthouse. This lighthouse is located about 15 miles north of Niagara Falls in New York State. It is on the Niagara River at the south shore of Lake Ontario. We found the lighthouse on the edge of the parking lot of what is now the Visitors Center for Old Fort Niagara.<br />
<br />
The original lighthouse on the site was constructed in 1782 on top of the "French Castle" In 1872 the current lighthouse was established. It is octagonal in shape and has a black lantern. It is constructed of limestone and I found it to be one of the most attractive lighthouses I have visited.<br />

Here is a view of Old Fort Niagara that spans a history of more than 300 years. At different times in the history of the fort it was held by the French, the British and the USA. The last armed conflict at the fort was the War of 1812. It was used as a training center for American soldiers throughout both World Wars. The last army units were withdrawn in 1963. Today it is held by the Coast Guard.<br />

First View of Fairport Harbor West Breakwater Lighthouse</h3>
<div>
We were taking a trip out east and on the way I wanted to stop at a few lighthouses along the way. The first stop was for the Fairport Harbor Breakwater Lighthouse and we followed the directions that led us to a park along Lake Erie. The lighthouse was not visible from the park, so I took a trail that led through the dunes and was rewarded with the beautiful sight of the lighthouse as seen in the photo above. It is a square building with the light tower along the far side. The lighthouse was constructed in 1925 and is currently undergoing a major makeover.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The photo below is one I took from the beach. I like the way the driftwood in the foreground leads your eye up to the lighthouse.</div>

<h3>
Visiting the Lighthouse</h3>
<div>
I had seen beautiful photos of the lighthouse at Pemaquid Point and was anxious to try my hand at photographing the lighthouse and the shoreline with the beautiful rocks. We drove north on Hwy 1 in Maine until we reached the town of Damariscotta. We then took hwy 130 till we reached the end of the point and Pemaquid Lighthouse.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When we first reached the point the fog was very thick, but I got out of the car and started to explore the grounds. There were lots of beautiful flowers, an art gallery, a fisherman museum, and beautiful scenery in addition to the lighthouse and keepers house. It is one of the nicest lighthouse areas I have encountered on my quest to photograph lighthouses. After my exploring the fog began to lift and I captured the lighthouse from various angles.</div>

<h3>
The Lighthouse as Seen from the Rocks</h3>
<div>
One of the great features of Pemaquid Point is the beautiful rock formations. Leading up to the lighthouse is a "frozen wave" rock formation that reaches down to the end of the point. I had seen the photos and wanted to capture the rocks leading up to the lighthouse. What I didn't realize is that the only way to capture that look was for me to climb down the hill on the rocks. I stood and looked at it for a bit and then decided to go for it. It was definately worth the climb. There were lots of little flowers blooming in the cracks of the rocks and the entire scene was wonderful. The climb was a little scary at first, but then it was not really too hard.</div>

<h3>
The Lighthouse Structure</h3>
<div>
The lighthouse stands 30 feet above the ground and 79 feet above sea level. In clear weather the light can be seen for 14 nautical miles. The white light flashes every 6 seconds and automatically turns on and off at dusk and dawn. Winding stairs take you to the top of the lighthouse which is open to visitors.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In my quest to photograph lighthouses, my husband and I traveled to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I had seen photos of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse but was unfamiliar with the other lights that guided mariners along the Outer Banks.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The first lighthouse we visited was on Bodie Island at the north end of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. We arrived on a clear August evening so we decided to head straight to the nearest lighthouse. The early evening light was perfect for photographing and I enjoyed walking around the lighthouse and capturing the views from various angles.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse was not open to climb, but there was a small museum operated by the National Park Service in the old keeper's house.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I hope you enjoy my photos!</div>

Cape Hatteras National Seashore was the first national seashore in the country. It extends 70 miles from south Nags Head to Ocracoke Island. It covers 30,000 acres.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
There are many historic and recreational sites along the seashore. I was particularly interested in the three lighthouses that are located on this national seashore. </div>

Bodie Island Lighthouse (pronounced body) is located on the North Carolina Outer Banks just south of Nags Head. Like many of the lighthouses along the coast, this is not the first lighthouse on Bodie.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The first lighthouse built in 1847 was abandoned 12 years later due to it's poor foundation. A second lighthouse was built in 1859 but it was blown up in 1861 by the Confederate troops who were afraid that it would give the Union an advantage in navigation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse we see today was built in 1872 and is near the northern border of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.</div>

I am always on the lookout for interesting perspectives of a lighthouse. When we visited Bodie Island I walked all around the lighthouse looking for the best views. I tried some close up and some from distances. I liked this interesting perspective taken through the slats of the back porch of the museum.</div>

I love lighthouses and on a recent trip to the Georgia coast we went on a quest to photograph each lighthouse. I was pleasantly surprised to find several unique lighthouses near the area where we were staying. After further research, not only did I find unique lighthouses but lighthouses that had interesting historic stories. Some lighthouses survived the civil war and others were rebuilt after the war.<br />
<br />
One unique lighthouse has a legend of the "waving girl" who greeted vessels for over 46 years. In all I was able to photograph four different Georgia lights and this lens will detail my visit to each of these lights.</div>

State's Oldest Lighthouse</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse at Tybee Island is Georgias oldest and tallest lighthouse.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse is located several blocks off the northern end of Tybee Island. We drove around it several times looking for the right angle to photograph the lighthouse without getting all of the wires and other buildings in the photos. It is a stately looking black and white lighthouse that appears to be very well maintained.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse and towers at Tybee Island have had a lot of bad luck over the years. The first tower was built off Tybee in 1733, but it soon collapsed in a storm. The second tower's life was cut short by encroaching seas and a third tower was constructed in 1773. At first these towers only helped navigation in the daylight, since they were not lit. The third tower was lit in 1790. In 1862 the Confederate forces torched the lighthouse to prevent the Union troops from using it. In 1886 a rare earthquake badly damaged the lighthouse. In 1867 the lighthouse was reconstructed using the 1773 structure as a base. It's First Order Fresnel Lens is still in use today.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse has undergone several reconstructions during modern times making it one of the best maintained lighthouses in the United States. You can read more of the interesting history of the Tybee lighthouse in the link below under Great Links on Georgia Lighthouses.</div>

Guiding Ships through Savannah River</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I had read about a light in Savannah harbor that appeared to be more of a giant streetlight than a lighthouse, so I was anxious to see it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
We were driving in downtown Savannah and I was describing the light to my husband while we were at a stoplight. I remembered it was on Bay street and just then I looked up and saw what I thought might be the light. My husband wasn't so sure, but he pulled into the park where it stood and sure enough it was the historic Savannah harbor light.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
It is a beacon light that was erected in 1858 to aid in navigation on the Savannah river. It stands 77 feet above the river level and was illuminated by gas. It is a dark green metal and does look like an old fashioned street lamp. I was able to get several photographs of the light. The setting was perfect with the moss hanging off the trees. It seems to fit so well with the character of Savannah.</div>

Waving Girl Legend</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse at Cockspur Island marks the entrance to the south channel of the Savannah River. Cockspur Island is just off the coast from Fort Pulaski and can be seen on the drive between Savannah, GA and Tybee Island.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I could see the lighthouse from the bridge but was uncertain how I would get a good photograph. After some searching we found a small road that led back to an area where I could put on my telephoto lens and capture some great shots of this historic lighthouse.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The first lighthouse was built at Cockspur in 1736 and the current light was built in 1857. Although the lighthouse was right in the midst of a civil war battle it was able to survive the war. <a href="http://www.lighthousefriends.com/pull-state.asp?state=GA" style="color: #551a8b; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Lighthouse Friends</a> details the history of the lighthouse and information on the lighthouse keepers over the years.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
One interesting legend of the lighthouse is called the "waving girl". In the legend the lighthouse keepers sister greeted vessels passing the lighthouse with a wave of her handkerchief during the day and by waving the lantern at night.</div>

The light at St Simons island is 104 feet tall and has a brick keepers house in front of the lighthouse. It is a working lighthouse that along with the keepers house (now a museum) is open to the public. The tower has 129 interior steps. The lighthouse has an interesting history. One lightkeeper was murdered on the grounds when he had an disagreement with his assistant. Another lightkeeper and his wife kept hearing unexplained footsteps in the tower, which sent their dog Jinx into a frenzy. To this day people still talk of hearing strange footsteps in the tower. Read more about the history in the link from lighthousefriend.com in the section Great Links on Georgia Lighthouses.</div>

I enjoyed our visit to St Simons island. It is a nice beach town with a street of tourist and artsy shops. A great place to visit and spend an afternoon!</div>

If you love lighthouses you might want to consider the ultimate treat for a lighthouse enthusiast, spending some time at a lighthouse bed and breakfast. I have visited many lighthouses and climbed to the top of a few, but I can tell you nothing quite gives you the true lighthouse experience like spending the night in a lighthouse.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
We had stayed in a lighthouse in Minnesota and enjoyed the experience so when we decided to take a trip to the UP ( Upper Peninsula of Michigan) I looked into lighthouse bed and breakfasts in the area. I found there were three different ones available: Sand Hills, Jacobsville and Big Bay. Although all three lighthouses looked great we decided to spend two nights at Big Bay lighthouse. It best fit our needs and travel plans.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
If you want to enjoy a delightful secluded retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Big Bay Point is a perfect place to stay. It sits high atop the bluffs on a cliff that juts out over Lake Superior. I enjoyed climbing the lighthouse tower whenever I wanted, relaxing in front of the fire in the cozy bedroom, walking the grounds and enjoying the scenery and waking up to a wonderful country style breakfast.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
On this page I will share with you some information on Big Bay Point lighthouse and my experience at this delightful bed and breakfast.</div>

When we arrived at the lighthouse we were met by one of the owners, Jeff, and given an orientation tour of the lighthouse. Jeff showed us around the main floor. In the kitchen we were shown the guest refrigerator to keep any of our supplies and where we could find glasses and ice. In the dining area was a beverage area where we could help ourselves to coffee and other hot drinks and light snacks. The living room area included a cozy sitting area around a fireplace and bookshelves full of books. I noted there where many books about lighthouses and also a lot of travel books.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Jeff told us how to get to the lighthouse tower and we were told we were free to climb to the top of the tower whenever we wished. At the base of the tower there is a sauna which is available to the guests and also a small library. The library has a TV with both satellite reception and DVD's that we could watch. It also has a wide selection of books that can be borrowed or traded.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Next Jeff took us to our room. Our room was on the main floor and was beautifully decorated in lighthouse decorations. It had a queen size bed, a gas fireplace, and two comfortable chairs to sit and read or enjoy the views of Lake Superior from the three large windows. It also had a private bath.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
After our tour we felt very comfortable with our surroundings. Jeff then told us that his wife would give a talk on the history of the lighthouse and some information on places to eat and things to do in the area later that day.</div>

At 5 we went to the sitting room to join the other guests to hear about the history of the lighthouse and the area from Linda.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse was originally put into operation in 1896. Ships had often wrecked along the shores of the dangerous waters just to the north of the Huron Mountains so the government established the lighthouse at Big Bay Point to help guide the ships. The original 3rd order Fresnel lens filled the entire light room and could be seen by ships from 18 miles away.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Linda gave us information about the keepers of the lighthouse through the years and what their lives must have been like on this remote point. The lighthouse originally was set up as a duplex for a lighthouse keeper and an assistant keeper and their families. There were many children raised at the lighthouse and at one point between the two families their were 14 children.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
There was no electricity at the lighthouse until the 1940's so oil had to be brought up to the lantern to light the lamp. Each of the families at their own outhouse on the property.</div>

Linda told us that she and her husband Jeff have been running the lighthouse bed and breakfast for 22 years.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse was turned into a bed and breakfast in 1986 and is found on the National Register of Historic Places.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse has 7 guests rooms with private baths and some also have fireplaces. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and 5 on the second floor.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Breakfast is served family style each morning from 8-10 in the dining room. The breakfasts we had were wonderful. On the first morning we had raspberry scones, fresh fruit, Florentine scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuits. The second morning we had coconut muffins, fruit and yogurt cups and banana pancakes. There was also an array of drinks, cereals and yogurt available. Everything was delicious!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
There are also fresh baked cookies available to snack on throughout the day.</div>

Hike along the Bluffs</h2>

<span style="font-size: 13.8px; line-height: 20.7px;">On our first afternoon at the lighthouse, I took a walk on the trail that goes from the lighthouse along the bluffs of Lake Superior and then circles through the woods back to the lighthouse. It is about 1/2 mile trail that gives you some beautiful views of the lake and bluffs as seen in the photo above.</span></div>

I was by myself when I took the walk and this photo, but I'm sure if someone saw me it would have been quite comical. I was a bit intimidated by the steep bluffs, so I held on tight to a birch tree with one hand and maneuvered my camera with my other hand to get this photo. I tend to get quite involved in my photography and I could just see myself stepping too close to the bluffs if I hadn't clung to the tree.</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.8px; line-height: 20.7px;">One of the joys of staying all night in the lighthouse is being able to climb up to the top of the tower whenever you wish. The steps up to the tower ascend from the second floor library room. From there you climb a spiral iron staircase that leads you to the top of the tower. I found the climb to be an easy climb and the view up top to be stunning. In this photo you see the view looking to the east. You see the grounds of the lighthouse and Lake Superior.</span></div>

I am told that sunrises and sunsets are particularly stunning from up on the tower. Both evenings were too cloudy to enjoy a good show when we stayed so I didn't get that experience. It was also mentioned that seeing the Northern Lights from the tower could be quite spectacular.</div>

Anatomy of a Murder - takes place in Big Bay</h2>

In the 1950's a murder took place in the Lumberjack Inn in Big Bay. This murder became famous when the accused was found not guilty by reason of insanity. That was the first time the insanity plea was used successfully in the state of Michigan. This true story was written in a book by Robert Traver and later producer and director Otto Preminger made it in to a film starring Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick. It was filmed in the Thunder Bay Inn in Big Bay.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Both the Lumberjack Inn and the Thunder Bay Inn are still in business in Big Bay. We had pizza and beers at the Lumberjack Tavern our first night at Big Bay and dinner at the Thunder Bay Inn on the second evening. Both are very popular eating establishments in the small town.</div>

If you enjoy nature you will love the opportunities at and around Big Bay. This photo was taken at the Thomas Rock overlook which is just a few miles outside of the town of Big Bay. The overlook has a great accessible path that is 1/4 mile long and leads up to the overlook. From here you can see several lighthouses, and a wonderful view of both Big Bay and the Huron Mountains.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
There are also several waterfalls to explore in the area. About 6 miles away you will find Yellow Dog Falls and a short distance further down the road will be a trail to Big Pup Creek Falls. These are wonderful plays to explore and you may even see some otters playing near the falls.</div>

I have always enjoyed lighthouses and have photographed over 50 lighthouses in the past 6 years, but this was my first time to actually spend the night in a lighthouse. I was so excited for the experience and didn't know quite what to expect. I was in for a delightful time and I loved staying in a lighthouse for the night.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
It is hard to say what I liked best. I really enjoyed the access to the lighthouse and tower at all times of the night and day. The views of the harbor in the middle of the night were fantastic and I loved being able to get photographs at sunrise and sunset. It was a full moon the night we stayed at Two Harbors, Minnesota lighthouse so I had the added experience of capturing the moon and lighthouse in a photo together. The fun of sharing a bed and breakfast and meeting new people was also great. There were three couples staying in the lighthouse and one in the skiff house on the property. We all met in the dining area in the evening for snacks and again for a delicious Scandinavian breakfast in the morning.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
For me the lighthouse B&B was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone who loves lighthouses.</div>

Two Harbors lighthouse is situated in Agate bay where you can watch ships of iron ore come and go. These shipping operations first began in 1884 when the first iron shipment was loaded for shipment from Agate bay. While we were visiting a large ship came into the harbor at about 6 pm. and left just after midnight. It was fun to watch the ship come in from the pier and then when it left I watched it from our bedroom window.</div>

a fun experience</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I always love to climb a lighthouse tower and see the view from on top. Usually I visit a lighthouse and get one trip to the top to see the view, but while staying at the lighthouse B&B I had the opportunity to climb the tower anytime I wanted day or night. Since we were already staying on the second floor the climb to the tower was only two short flights of stairs to the lantern house. I ended up climbing to the top on 4 different occassions, one time late at night when it was a bit spooky since I was all alone. It was fantastic though to view the harbor at night. The harbor was all lit up and you could see the sweeping lights from the lantern along the shore. The photo in this section is taken through the portholes at the top of the lighthouse during my afternoon climb up the tower.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lantern gallery is only 43feet 6 inches high but when you add that to the location of the light along the shore, it sits 78 feet above the water.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse at Agate Bay near Two Harbors was authorized by US Congress in 1886 and was first lit in March of 1892. It was built on a rocky area on the east side of the bay. They had to blast nearly 600 tons of rock out of the bedrock to form the fountation of the lighthouse. The lighthouse and the keepers house were connected and yet they were two separate structures. There is a very thick wall where the two structures come together, which protected the keepers family from a fire or explosion.</div>

At the end of a L shaped pier you find the second lighthouse at Two Harbors. This lighthouse was built in the 1940's and is 25 feet high. It has an octagonal lantern house and sits on steel legs that let the waves splash beneath it. I walked out to the lighthouse in the early evening to watch a large iron ore ship that was just coming into the bay. It seemed to be a popular place for people to come out to watch the ships.</div>

The grounds of Two Harbors lighthouse contains several additional attractions. The assistant keepers house has been restored with original furnishings from the late 1800's and future plans are to turn it into a rental cottage for the B&B. The old Skiff House, which was once a power house, is currently being used as a rental for the B&B.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The fog signal building has been turned into a nice gift shop for the lighthouses. It has a wide variety of items depicting the lighthouses and the area. I purchased post cards, a lighthouse apron and a lighthouse sweatshirt while I was there.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
At the edge of the ground is the Frontenac Pilot House. This pilot house, which was once part of a ship, is now used as exhibit space for the lighthouse and shipping museum. I toured the house and found the exhibits to be interesting. You also have a great view of Lake Superior through the windows of the pilot house.</div>

Prospect Point Lighthouse is located in Stanley Park in Vancouver, Canada. On a recent cruise our ship left the port in Vancouver and proceeded under the Lions Gate Bridge (a popular Vancouver landmark). As we proceeded under the bridge I noticed a cute little lighthouse sitting on a path below the bridge.<br />
<br />
I did a bit of research and found that the lighthouse is called Prospect Point. In October of 1888 the steamship Beaver slammed into Prospect point and the need was felt for a lighthouse in the area. The first light at Prospect point was opened on July 25, 1888.<br />
<br />
In 1938 the Lions Gate Bridge (linking the Prospect point bluff to North Vancouver) was constructed and the original lighthouse still operated. Several years later in 1946, the current lighthouse was opened. As we traveled by the lighthouse on a Sunday afternoon I could see many visitors to the park walking past the trail by the lighthouse. It looked the a great way to spend a beautiful afternoon.<br />

I love photographing lighthouses, so I went to St. Augustine specifically to photograph the lighthouse. I was pleasantly surprised by a wonderful, historic ciy with many wonderful attractions. We were only there for one day so we really only touched the surface of all of the sites to visit. I spent quite a bit of time photographing the lighthouse and touring the lighthouse museum.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Afterward we went to the<strong> Castillo de San Marcos</strong>, an old Spanish fort that is right on the inlet. We also spent some time walking around the downtown area and taking in the many historic buildings. St. Augustine is truly a historic treasure. It was settled 55 years before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock and is full of hundreds of years of fascinating history.</div>

Here is the first photo I took of the lighthouse from the parking lot. The way the lighthouse is surrounded by trees it is hard to get a good shot of the lighthouse without being right on top of it. In this lens you will see my challenge at trying to get a good shot of the lighthouse.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I moved around to various spots within the lighthouse grounds and even tried to shoot from across the way in a park. If you have a favorite view I would love to hear from you. Just let me know in the comment section at the end of the article.</div>

While we were visiting the lighthouse, there was a local artist painting an oil painting of the lighthouse. When I finished touring the grounds and museum I stopped to look at what he had been painting. I snapped this photo from the same angle the artist was using to paint the picture. It gives a closeup point of view. Interesting...although I will admit it looked much better in the oil painting.</div>

We stopped by St. Augustine on another trip to Florida and I was able to capture the lighthouse at night. The lighthouse is surrounded by buildings and trees so to get a good shot of the light at night I went to a nearby park and set up my tripod.</div>

Hereford Inlet Lighthouse is located along the New Jersey shore in North Wildwood. This gorgeous Victorian style lighthouse is a photographers dream. It not only has a beautiful Victorian home with a lighthouse incorporated into the house, but the surrounding property is full of beautiful gardens, special little hideaways, and a path leading right to the sea.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I found this lighthouse particularly interesting because it looked more like a beautiful Victorian home than a lighthouse. Inside the home it has 5 fireplaces and a very well maintained living quarters for the keeper and his family. This must certainly rate among the nicest keepers quarters for lighthouses.</div>

The lighthouse was first operated in 1874 to guide ships along the New Jersey shoreline. This distinctive lighthouse helped navigators to pinpoint where they were located along the shore.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
This lighthouse is very sturdily constructed. In 1889 when a ferocious hurricane blasted the area many people were washed away and drowned. Those people that survived took refuge in the Hereford lighthouse. Even though it was surrounded by water and shaken by the high winds the lighthouse and18 people who took refuge in it survived. ( information on this event taken from Mid-Atlantic Lighthouses by Bruce Roberts and Ray Jones).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse remained in service for 90 years at which time it was discontinued by the Coast Guard in 1964. It sat unused until 1986 when the citizens of North Wildwood opened it again.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Today you can tour the lighthouse, climb to the top of the tower and enjoy a restful day among its beautiful gardens,</div>

My Passion for Visiting Lighthouses</h2>

I have always loved lighthouses, but 8 years ago when I retired my love of lighthouses really heated up. It started with a love to travel and improve my photography skills. The first year of my retirement my husband and I visited Door County, Wisconsin and I took some photos of their lighthouses. I found each one to be different and intriguing and my quest to photograph more lighthouses started.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Over the years we have photographed over 100 lighthouses and each year I am looking for new opportunities to capture these beautiful, historic lights with my camera. Our trip to the New Jersey shore gave me the opportunity to add 6 new lighthouses to my photographic collections.</div>

The gardens all around the lighthouse were beautiful. The flowers were well maintained and there was a huge variety of flowers artfully set among small sitting areas. You would walk along a path and be surprised by each little area. One area had a birdbath surrounded by flowers, another would have beautiful hydrangea bushes, and still others would have bright yellow daisy type flowers bordering the house and fence.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
There were so many wonderful little areas to explore. It was truly an unexpected and delightful garden.</div>

Paths throughout the Garden</h2>

One of the things that I loved about the garden was the pathways that led you from one section to the next. These pathways were lined with beautiful greenery and flowers and were found throughout the back area of the grounds.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
There was a wooden pathway that went from the house to the very back of the property which then opened up to a concrete boardwalk that went along the sea. What a great way to spend an afternoon. I walked from the gardens out onto the boardwalk and could watch the sailboats drifting out to sea. A truly delightful walk.</div>

Towards the back area of the gardens, I came across two different old boats. Theses boats looked like they had seen better days and were now used to showcase the flowers around the garden. Each of the boats had a wooden bench sitting across from it and beautiful flowers growing all around the boat.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I took some time to sit on the bench and rest before I started photographing the boat and flowers. What a great way to add interest to the gardens!</div>

Photographing Little Sable Lighthouse-My Quest for a Unique Photo</h2>
<div class="txtd" id="txtd_27940082" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I love photographing lighthouses and in the past eight years I have visited over 100 lighthouses. Digital cameras make it so easy to take lots of photos and at first I just took photos of the lighthouses from various angles. As I learned more about photography and started to use various cameras and equipment I started to look for unique shots.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I love to take sunrise and sunset photos and with my DSLR camera and a good tripod, I have learned to take some interesting shots. I know taking early morning and early evening photos gives me the best light, but sometimes when traveling visiting a lighthouse during those times is just not convenient.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
On our trip to Michigan in July of 2012 we were visiting 10 lighthouses in a weeks time so I was visiting some lighthouses during daytime and sunny times. My challenge was to find a way to take an interesting and unique photo of the lighthouses during that time period.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
On this page I will introduce you to the photos I took of Little Sable Point lighthouse on the shores of Lake Michigan. Little Sable was erected in 1874 and is a classic tower shaped lighthouse.</div>

When we arrived at Little Sable it was about 9:30 in the morning and the sun was already fairly high in the sky. It was a clear day without a cloud in the sky, so I knew I would need to find just the right angle for the photos or the sky would really look washed out.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
From the parking lot you could see the lighthouse through the dunes and brush that grew in the dunes. This first shot that I took shows the lighthouse framed by some bushes. I always like to frame the photos. I think it gives the photo a good balance look so I was glad to see some trees and brush with which I could work. The resulting photo is above. I think it is a good photo, but not quite the unique shot I was looking to create.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The photo below uses the winding path to draw your eye up to the lighthouse. This is another technique I like to use. I also like putting something in the foreground (the fence) to give it depth. Again, I feel it is a good photo, but doesn't quite have that unique quality.</div>

This is the camera that I used for all the photos on this page. I got the camera a couple of weeks before our trip and I was eager to try it out. I was very pleased with my results. The camera takes clear, crisp photos and has a wonderful zoom lens. It has a variety of automatic and manual settings and is very lightweight. It is a perfect camera to use when traveling.</div>

I next walk up and down the beach looking for a view of the lighthouse that might lend to a unique photo. I liked the way the mid morning sun was casting shadows on the lighthouse and the dunes. I saw that it was right behind the lighthouse but at this point that didn't strike me as a good shot so I moved to this shot of the lighthouse and the dunes.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I like this shot better than the ones from the parking lot, but it was still not quite what I wanted.</div>

As I walked back in front of the lighthouse on the beach I noticed that the sun was now right behind the top of the lighthouse. I thought this might make a nice photo, so I stood in the shadow of the lighthouse and lined up my shot. I focused on the lantern of the lighthouse to get the desired effect and then lower my camera to get the whole lighthouse in view.</div>

I next decided to do a bit of manipulation of the photo in Lightroom. For this view I worked on getting the new trendy, high contrast look. This look doesn't look good on all photos but I like the way it looks on Little Sable. I think it gives it an eerie, haunted look!</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Our visit to the lighthouse was the culmination of a great visit to a very interesting town. Holland, Michigan has a lot to offer the visitor. Although we visited in the fall, I am told it has a great tulip festival each May with over 6 million tulips in bloom.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The town also boasts a 240 foot windmill that was brought from the Netherlands. It can be seen on Windmill Isand. There is a Dutch Village Theme Park that has lots of great shops with products from the Netherlands. We were able to watch wooden shoes being made and even to try on some of the finished product. It was great fun to try to walk in wooden shoes!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
There was some wonderful pottery from the only Delft factory outside of Holland. I had visited the factory in Delft, Holland so I was curious to see what the American factory was like. Although much smaller, it did have many of the same pieces.</div>

The first lighthouse in Holland was constructed in 1872. The current lighthouse, shown in this photo, was errected in 1934. It is covered with metal plates to protect it from the weather and waves.</div>

I love to be able to see a lighthouse up close. The lights at Grand Haven provide this opportunity!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I was delighted to find two lights connected to the beach by a long stone pier and a raised catwalk to connect the two lights. My friends and I took the opportunity to walk out on the catwalk and see the lighthouses up close It was a chlly fall day on Lake Michigan, but the slight discomfort was well worth the pleasure of photographing the lighthouses from a variety of angles.</div>

The Grand Haven Lights consist of two lights and an elevated catwalk that connects the two. The south pierhead light is a red conical steel plate tower that was constructed in 1905. The inner lighthouse is barn shaped and was originally built in 1875. It was moved to the end of the breakwater in 1905.</div>

On our way to Door County, Wisconsin we decided to stay for the night in Port Washington. We did not know anything about the town and were pleasantly surprised to find a wonderful small town. It had a great little harbor, beautiful flowers in bloom, a memorial to fallen fisherman, and not just one, but two great lights. One, sitting on a hill overlooking the harbor, was an old lighthouse and in the harbor stood a fascinating looking art deco pierhead light.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
On this page, I will showcase photos of the lighthouses and also give you a flavor of the town with photographs of the harbor, flowers and fisherman's memorial. I hope you enjoy this brief look into Port Washington, Wisconsin.</div>

The pierhead light is connected to the harbor by a breakwater made of steel decking, large stones and concrete. You can walk out to light along the breakwater which is 2500 feet log. In this photo you can see the large number of people that gather under the light to fish or just enjoy the view.</div>

I wasn't able to get the lighthouse in my shots, however I was rewarded for my early morning outing by some spectacular sunrise shots. The sky was somewhat cloudy so at first I didn't think I'd catch the sunrise, but then all of a sudden it was there, coming out of the clouds. Well worth the wait!!</span></div>

History of Rose Island Lighthouse</h2>

Rose Island lighthouse is found on an island in Narragansett Bay near Newport Rhode Island. It was originally built in 1870 and helped to guide ships around the rocky area near Newport.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
On a recent cruise stop, I was able to take a tour of Rose island and the lighthouse. The tour guide gave us interesting information on the lighthouse and I was able to explore the grounds and climb the tower to the lighthouse. The lighthouse operated from 1870 to 1970 when it was abandoned due to the construction of the nearby Newport Bridge. The Newport Bridge lit up the night and the lighthouse was no longer needed. The lighthouse then remained vacant until 1984 when a foundation was formed to restore the lighthouse.<br />
<br />
The guide below is a great way to learn more about Rhode Island lighthouses. It comes with directions to each lighthouse.<br />

Experience Life in a Lighthouse</h2>

Today Rose Island lighthouse is beautifully restored in early 1900's furniture and accessories. Our tour guide told us when they were ready to furnish the lighthouse they got advice from a grandson of one of the lighthouse keepers. He was able to give the ideas of where the furniture should be placed and what accessories his grandparents had in their home.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The restoration is very well done and the rugs and quilts give it a very homey feeling.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
I enjoyed touring the house and climbing to the top of the tower for a view of the harbor.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Today the lighthouse is also available for guests who stay on the first floor and get to be honorary lighthouse keepers. Would you like to experience life in a lighthouse? For more information go to <a href="http://www.roseislandlighthouse.org/" style="color: #551a8b; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Rose Island Lighthouse Foundation</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse grounds are also home to weddings and other parties. I think it would be a great place to host an event.</div>

On our way to and from Rose island lighthouse our guide gave a us a narrative tour of the harbor. We passed by the beautiful mansions on the coastline and found out that they were summer "cottages" for many of the wealthy people who visited the area.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
We also saw beautiful yachts and sailboats that were moored in the bay area.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
One of the sights that really interested me were the other lighthouses that also were in the harbor. The guide pointed out two other lighthouses Lime Rock and Newport Harbor Light. He also told us of two lighthouse to watch for when our cruise ship left the area that night. I was able to capture all four of these lighthouses in my photographs.</div>

Lime Rock Lighthouse</h2>

During our tour of the harbor our guide pointed out Lime Rock Lighthouse and gave us a bit of information.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse was first lit in 1854 and was run by a lighthouse keeper and his wife and small daughter. When the keeper had a stroke in 1858 his wife Ida Lewis took over the running of the lighthouse. In 1879 her daughter, also named Ida, took over the lighthouse keeper duties. She remained the keeper until 1911. In 1924 Lime Rock lighthouse was renamed the Ida Lewis lighthouse.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
Today the lighthouse is used as a yacht club.</div>

As our cruise ship left the bay in the early evening I was able to photograph two more lighthouses.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The first was a short lighthouse on the eastern passage. This lighthouse is adjacent to Castle Hill Inn and Resort which sits high on the hill above the bay. I can imagine the beautiful views the people staying in this resort have of the ships coming into and out of the harbor.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;">
The lighthouse below is the second lighthouse I photographed as our cruise ship left the bay. It is Beavertail lighthouse which is at the southern end of Cononicut Island. It was built in 1856 and has a 45 foot tower.</div>

Sturgeon Point lighthouse is located on Michigan's east coast about 5 miles north of Harrisville on the banks of Lake Huron. The 70 foot tower and keepers house was built in November of 1870.<br />
<br />
Today the keepers house is a maritime museum and the lighthouse is maintained by the US Coast Guard. The museum and tower are open to visitors during the summer months, but the grounds are open to the public year round.<br />
<br />
We visited this lighthouse in June of 2015. We were able to park in a lot just a short distance from the lighthouse and I wandered the grounds taking photos from various angles.<br />

There is a rock jetty that juts out into the water in front of the lighthouse and I found it a good place to get some clear shots of the lighthouse. The photo above shows the lighthouse as taken from that point.</div>

The keepers house has a bright red entrance door and red window trim and shutters. They make an interesting contrast against the white tower and house. <br />

Port Sanilac was built in 1886. Today it is a private residence but the light is still active for navigation. I found it to be a bit challenging to get good photos of the lighthouse. First of all it was June when we visited and the trees hid the lighthouse from the front and secondly when we got to the lighthouse the sky was very cloudy and gray looking. In the two photos below you will note the sky. I walked out on the breakwater and was able to capture these two shots without capturing too much of the sky.<br />
<br />
We decided to hang around for a while and see if the clouds would lift. After about 1/2 an hour I was able to capture some blue sky in the photo above taken from a parking lot on the side of the light. I like the wooden fence that I was able to photograph in the forefront of the photo. It gives a nice leading line to the lighthouse.<br />
<br />
After the breakwater photos and the wooden fence photo, we drove around the town a bit and then decided to try to photograph from the marina just below the lighthouse. The cloud cover lifted and we were rewarded for our patience as you will see from the photos taken from the boat dock!<br />

In this book the author gives great tips about places to get good photographs of lighthouses. I like how he tells if the light is best in the morning or afternoon and what places are good for sunrise/sunset photos. It also gives directions to each lighthouse and sample photos of the lighthouses.<br />

Point Aux Barques lighthouse is located on the shores of Lake Huron at the tip of Michigan's thumb. The lighthouse is one of the oldest lighthouses on the Great Lakes. The first lighthouse on the spot was operating in 1848 but didn't last very long due to bad construction. The current tower was completed in 1857 and it is still in operation today guiding boaters and commercial traffic. The tower is 89 feet tall.<br />
<br />
The first lighthouse keeper, Paul Shook, drowned in 1849 and his wife took over the operation of the lighthouse. She is said to be the first female lighthouse keeper on the Great Lakes. The brochure on the lighthouse states that her salary was $350 per year.<br />
<br />
Today the lighthouse grounds, a museum, and gift shop are operated by the Pointe aux Barques Lighthouse Society. When we visited, there was no one else around so I had plenty of space to explore and photograph the lighthouse from various angles. The photo above was taken from a platform going out on the lake at the campgrounds that adjoined the lighthouse grounds. Below are several other shots I took of the lighthouse.<br />

Tawas Point Lighthouse is located along the Michigan coast of Lake Huron.The lighthouse has been in operation since 1876. Today the lighthouse is part of Tawas Point State Park. If you have ever dreamed of being a lighthouse keeper Tawas Point Lighthouse offers you an opportunity to stay in the keepers house and conduct tours of the lighthouse along with some other keepers duties.<br />
<br />
We visited Tawas Point on a beautiful June afternoon, the skies were bright blue and had some interesting cloud formations. The lighthouse grounds was not crowded so I was able to shoot several photos without people in the photos. The trees and grounds around the lighthouse made this an excellent lighthouse to photograph.<br />
<br />
When I photograph a lighthouse I like to shoot from several different perspectives. I look for interesting objects or foliage in the foreground and leading lines such as paths or fences to draw your eye to the main subject. I found Tawas Point to be a great lighthouse to photograph. Below are the results of my efforts.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Leading Lines</h3>

<h3>
Foreground Interest</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The next group of photos uses some of the trees and flowers on the property to give foreground interest and perspective. These three pictures were taken over about an hours time. You will note how the cloud formations changed the look of the photos over the time I was shooting. On days when there are moving clouds it really pays to hang around and get the changing formations in your photographs.</span><br />
