Photographing Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse


Visiting Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

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.

Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Facts


  • Completed in 1860
  • Built on a hill
  • 105 ft tower
  • Light can be seen 24 nautical miles
  • Lighthouse museum in adjoining park where you can purchase tickets to climb to the top for a great view of the area.

This view of the lighthouse was taken from the park that is in front of the museum.

Here is a view of the lighthouse taken from the end of the inlet just before it enters the ocean.
This photo of the lighthouse was taken through a crystal photography ball that I set on a pier across the inlet.  I have fun shooting from various angles and using new techniques.

Photographic Tour of Erie Pennsylvania Lighthouses


                                                              Presque Isle Lighthouse

Three Historic Lighthouses

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.

Erie Land Lighthouse

The first lighthouse built on the Great Lakes was in Erie.  Here is some information and photos on the Erie Land lighthouse.



North Pier Light

The third lighthouse in Erie is the North Pier Light.  It is located on Presque Isle but can also be seen from the Erie Land light.  Here are photos taken of it from both locations.\
