Good Morning To Everyone On The Front  Porch On This Cold Thursday Morning  December 17th, 2020!

 

As I'm sitting around our apartment on my cable I've seen some interesting things like beautiful creatures posted on the  internet! It could be a tropical bird, a majestic animal, a waterfall in a remote part of Africa,  a giant tree or the insect I've posted below.

 

I think that the Front Porch followers should be able to come up with several hundred photos by New Years Day! All you need to do is save the photo to your gallery and repost it here to this topic. 

 

ENJOY AND HAVE A HAPPY,  HEALTHY 2021!

      The historic Boston Light overlooks the sea from Little Brewster Island, casting a light beam 27 miles into the Atlantic. This is the oldest continually used lightstation and last staffed lighthouse in the country, which dates back to the Revolutionary War.

      The Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse as the sun sets behind it in a peaceful golden glow. As we walked along the path of the sprawling park, the sun began to set behind the lighthouse.

      The lighthouse on Tearaght island, Ireland. The lighthouse is only 17 meters high. But it doesn't have to be higher, the lantern is still 84 meters above sea level. The lighthouse was lit for the first time in 1870. It was manned until 1988, when it was automated.

      Tearaght island is the westernmost point of Ireland and Europe, apart from a few small cliffs a little further away to the southwest and apart from Iceland and the Azores.

      The White Shoal Lighthouse, located 20 miles west of the Mackinac Bridge in Lake Michigan.

      It is an active aid to navigation. And it is also the tallest lighthouse on the Great Lakes.

      Construction of the crib style light began in 1908 and the light was commissioned on September 1, 1910.

      With the red and white 'candy cane stripe', color pattern it is the only 'barber pole' lighthouse in the United States. It was automated in 1976.

      Andrew and Donna Cooke two British Facebook friends on a day trip. "Well, that was an interesting day - somehow we ended up on two scenic railways that run beside water in lovely scenery - Bala Lake and the River Dee. We even found a Routemaster"!

      Wisconsin Territory

      The Territory of Wisconsin was an organized and incorporated territory of the United States that existed from July 3, 1836,[1] until May 29, 1848, when an eastern portion of the territory was admitted to the Union as the State of Wisconsin. Belmont was initially chosen as the capital of the territory. In 1837, the territorial legislature met in Burlington, just north of the Skunk River on the Mississippi, which became part of the Iowa Territory in 1838.[2] In that year, 1838, the territorial capital of Wisconsin was moved to Madison!

      Bixby Bridge, also known as Bixby Creek Bridge, on the Big Sur coast of California, is one of the most photographed bridges in California due to its aesthetic design, "graceful architecture and magnificent setting".[3][4] It is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge. The bridge is 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County on State Route 1.

      We crossed this bridge on our retirement trip between LA and Portland. The trip allowed us to visit several relatives along the way. The trip was in the Fall of 2009.
