Back to the lights for today - filling in some of the blanks left after previous trips, due to weather, darkness, parade, strike, construction or other interference. These first two frames are the Tinicum Rear Range Light in Paulsboro, NJ - just across the river from Philadelphia International Airport. 2002 photos.
Two shots of East Point Lighthouse - near Heislerville, NJ. We were very nearly carried off into the marsh by the industrial-strength flies surrounding this spot. 2002 photos.
A double shot of Cape May Lighthouse at the mouth of the Delaware Bay, NJ side. Hard to take a bad shot of this one - although its height makes wide-angle lenses a no-no, as the cupola ends up bending away from the film in ways most unattractive. Luckily, this one is on a large, open piece of land, allowing for the use of longer focal length lenses.
Tybee Island, GA. This light had ladders and scaffolding on it in 2000 (and it was cloudy). In October 2001, the newly-refurbished tower was draped with a large American flag. [Maris]'s shot.
And my shot, from the opposite side.
Cockspur Island Light, GA. This poor little thing had no cupola at all in 2000 and was just covered with a tarp. In 2001, it's sporting a nicely restored top section, although obviously the encroaching tide is eventually going to win, here.Bye for now!
