Photography->Lighthouses
Nauset Lighthouse is made of cast iron with a brick lining and stands 48 feet high. It was built in 1877, and was located in Chatham, MA as a twin to the one that is there today. In 1923, it was dismantled, moved to Eastham, MA and reconstructed. In the 1940's, Nauset Light was painted red and white as a daytime indicator of the red and white beacon. In 1996, it was moved to this location when the cliffs overlooking Nauset Light Beach eroded to within 25 feet of the lighthouse.

Or "Have Lighthouse, Will Travel"? I too love lighthouses, and you've done this one justice not only with your photo, but also with the history behind it!

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
I put a lot of lighthouse pictures in my favorites. This one went there.

This is really nice, Don. I like this lighthouse and have shots of it too. Great colors with the red and white against the great blue sky.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Lovely capture. The day we were there on vacation it was overcast and foggy.

Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Great light house! Very interesting. Looks like it was a bright day too. I like the contrast of the blue sky but it looks like the sun was conspiring to overexpose....
Wonderful none the less!!

Thanks, Gerry.
Robert Gordon Jones, a local pro, used to tell me: "A good picture always tells a story, and a good story must have a good foundation." A picture may be worth a thousand word, but without a frame of reference, most of those words will be wasted.
