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.

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.
That's a beautiful lighthouse. I live in Eastern Canada and last Summer, I did the lighthouse tour of Gaspe Peninsula, visiting 13 lighthouse. I'm happy to have found your blog. Thelma.
ReplyDeleteThelma so glad you stopped by. I love photographing lighthouses. I have also photographed several in Canada in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
DeleteAlways fun to see your lighthouse visits through your beautiful photography, Mary Beth. I hope someday to visit Jupiter, Florida, especially during the Cardinals' Spring Training.
ReplyDeleteI know you would love Jupiter Elf....especially when the Cardinals are there.
DeleteBeautiful photos Mary Beth! I always enjoy seeing your lighthouse pictures. That is a very pretty photo using your photography ball too. Very cool indeed!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Cynthia.
DeleteLove light houses and am definitely intrigued with the photo ball!
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely there isn't it. I worked just down the road for a couple of months, right opposite the Loggerhead Marine Life Center.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a beautiful part of the country. We went there for13 years for the month of March (Cardinal spring training time) but have not been able to go for the past two years. I miss it.
