I've always thought it might be fun to be a lighthouse keeper.
ReplyDeletedidja climb to the top? i love lighthhouses!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are still enjoying your stay in Florida. Start dusting off the winter boots though, and the thermals!
ReplyDeleteYou don't need a heated toilet seat in Florida. Al Fresco pees are the order of the day in hot places!
Love the red against the gray sky, very stunning photograph. Would love to climb those stairs to the top.
ReplyDeleteRED! Amazing. ;-))
ReplyDeleteThose light houses are really something else, did you climb to the top?we did while in Norfolk never never again.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't climb to the top because we got there just before closing time. There's a museum and the lighthouse keeper's cottage too, so there wasn't time to see it all. Maybe next time.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous lighthouse but it will take more than a great view to make me go up there. I hate tight spaces.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the photo.
WOW! That is quite a Lighthouse! It must be something to see everything from the top. Getting to the top sounds quite Daunting...lol!
ReplyDeleteLighthouses are amazing and this one is lovely.

ReplyDeleteSorry, that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this spectacular photo. Beautiful structure. I'd have wanted to climb to the top.
I love the drama of this picture Shammie. Great sky behind the red lighthouse. Very different to see the red structure.

ReplyDeleteThat would definitely be one of my MUSTS if I were anywhere near it, Sham. Look at that sky!!!
ReplyDeletelighthouses are so cool. We should have one in Nyack--there is a teeny one across the river.
