I like the building as well as the lighthouse.

I love the name Turtle Rock, it just slides off the tongue beautifully.

I love light houses. There's just something magical about them. :) Aloha
ReplyDeletehappy thursday james.
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by my blogs and leaving such kind comments. glad you enjoy my snaps.
so like your two lighthouse captures today...unusual lighthouse in its composition but, that's what makes it all the more interesting, at least i think so :)
i will be in pa in mid september...attending annual picnic of my publishing company at atglen.

I like lighthouses and I haven't seen this one,

Wow, the photo was fantastic. Loved the clouds! I had never seen this lighthouse before, its amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove the perspective in the first photo and the 'contextual' view of the second! Nifty post. I'm sharing Colorful Evening Beach Views this week at Sacred Ruminations.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Nice sky behind that wonderful lighthouse and building.
ReplyDeleteThe lighthouse keeper has a nice house!
ReplyDeleteThere really is something special about a lighthouse
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous SkyWatch! That is a nice house.
ReplyDeleteNice shots, James...that's quite a house...I followed the links,but didn't see what the house is used for...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, James. Now, I really feel like I missed something!
ReplyDeleteHey, I know about back operations! Years ago. Laminectomy. Not fun. But, no real problems since...well, except for a couple of times. Just have to be very careful.
Marvelous shots as always, James! And what a lovely building!
ReplyDeleteDo be careful and take care of yourself!
Have a great weekend!

A very interesting buliding and surrounded by these clouds it looks even better. Snyggt! :)
ReplyDeleteVery clever WOW factor this one James. I love the enhancement of the above picture. A picture with a skyview!
ReplyDeleteThat is not like any light house I have ever seen. It is more like a house with a big light.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful photos. I really like the lighthouse as well as the sky. Job well done!
ReplyDeleteI love pictures of light houses. These are very nice.
ReplyDeleteThis is quite a unique and beautiful lighthouse. I love the architecture of the lovely house, it almost mimics an Ark :D
ReplyDeleteBlessings back at ya, James
Was that the lighthouse keeper's home? It's huge! I like how it seems to wrap around the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteA very unique lighthouse, - lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteIt would be so cool to have an own lighthouse attached to my house and do skywatching from there. You showed it so lovingly.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots.
ReplyDeletewonderful photos, the first one really draws me toward it.

Gorgeous lighthouse!!! Terrific photographs.
ReplyDeleteI was just over in Delaware and visited the base of the Fenwick Island lighthouse. It's surrounded by the town now but it still keeps it's charm.
The frst shot of the ligth house is just beautiful against the sky. The second makes me want to allpy for the keeper's job so I get to live in that beautiful house!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a gorgeous building. It's buildings in this design (colonialism? Neo-colonialism?) that comes to mind when I think of "America."
ReplyDeleteWonderful building and lighthouse, you was right posting the detail of the tower.
ReplyDeleteI love lighthouses. Beautiful sky shot to be sure, the structure of the lighthouse really contrasts with the sky. Stunning.
ReplyDeletei have always like lighthouses since I was a child vacationing by the ocean. I go out of my way to find them . Both great pics!
ReplyDeleteOne of my dreams would be to spend holidays in a lighthouse; I love them;They have a wonderful and interesting architecture.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely little lighthouse!
