Lighthouses of the world

There are over 20,000 functioning ligIhthouses around the world. I have seen about 75 of them  over the years. 

Many of them on the Pacific coast and the Great Lakes 

Sorry it took so long to set up this next topic!

Fairport Harbor Light, OH on Lake Erie dates from 1871 and replaced an earlier lighthouse established nearby in 1825. Since 1945 it has served as the Fairport Harbor Marine Museum and Lighthouse, and we highly recommend a visit. - Photo courtesy of Fairport Harbor Marine Museum and Lighthouse.

""This is the Currituck Beach lighthouse in North Carolina. It is one of visitors favorites to climb, and the beaches there are incredible. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, you can drive right on the beach, and sometimes youโ€™re blessed enough to see the wild horses.

The first couple of floors as you enter this beacon, is like a museum. It is incredibly maintained by the town.
The original first order fresnal lens still shines brightly. Check out my picture of it with the sun shining on it."

Incredible, late summer sunrise, at the Northpoint Pier Lighthouse, Kenosha, WI. I visited here a few years ago but I was there after sunrise!

The tallest #lighthouse in #Florida is at Ponce Inlet. It has fabulous exhibits and reproduction rooms in the dwellings. The lens building is awesome!
