first......thanks for the birthday wishes. i appreciate them so much!................................................................................. "Point Wilson marks the west entrance into the Puget Sound. It is the turning point from the Strait of Juan de Fuca into Admiralty Inlet. Eventually, a light station was built at Point Wilson, two miles northwest of Port Townsend. The original light was a 46-foot frame tower rising from the keeper's dwelling with a fog signal building nearby. It first shown its light, a fixed white light with a red flash every 20 seconds, on December 15, 1879. The light could be seen for 13 miles. A rotating apparatus replaced the original light in 1894." thanks in advance for any comments! ENJOY.

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until they speak

Jen - Lighthouses have a special appeal to so many of us. Each has a different appearance. Yet, the keeper's house and other outbuildings of the late 1800's were very similar in different locations. I an enjoying this photo. Thad

Never take life seriously. No one ever gets out alive anyways. My gallery.
