THE VIEW OF PHENOMENOUS LIGHTHOUSES
CATCH MY ATTENTION
It is amazing the view of the beauty of some lighthouses and I would like to have the experience to visit at least one of these magnificent landmarks someday.
Maine’s Portland Harbor is a local landmark located in a special place since 1791 of a town in California and has been warning sailors of this dangerous approach and have guarded America's coastlines for centuries.
Another one, it is the Split Rock Lighthouse on its cliff side ledge 130 feet above Lake Superior's shores and surrounded by a yellow birch forest; and the another captured Ohio's postcard Marble Head Lighthouse on Lake Erie with its pure white tower and red trim standing in bright contrast to its natural surroundings.Many of these lighthouses you see today are cut stone towers, a strategic choice as many of the earliest lighthouses were built from wood and prone to catching fire (the very first was established in Boston in 1716).
The Point Reyes Light House on California’s northern coast is among those retired from active duty, yet it remains open as a museum. Regardless of their function, lighthouses add a beautiful architectural touch to coastal landscapes and bring to mind summers at the beach and America’s long-standing nautical traditions.
