Name that Lighthouse!!

[dioxide45]

A few different shots of my mystery lighthouse... not much of a mystery, though...

For those who may not know. Cape Hatteras Light in the Outer Banks of NC.

One more:

It is either Big Red or Grand Haven and for some reason I think Big Red is free standing.

You have it with Grand Haven in MI.

Nope. A few hundred miles too far north.

Those shots are actually the St. Augustine Lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida.

We aren't exactly known for our lighthouses in spite of all the coastline. Perhaps that is because so many of the older lighthouses were built on sites that have since been reclaimed by the sea (the St. Augustine light was originally a few hundred yards further east and is now underwater) so the remaining are mostly newer, less "pretty" buildings...

Here's a scan of one I took a little over 10 years ago. It's not far from where my wife and kids are right now.

The lighthouse I had planned on showing has already been shown, but thought I'd post this shot of it... sorry for the blown out sky...

Little Sable Point in MI?

The red lantern room and keepers quarters so close to the lighthouse should have tipped me off on this one. The lantern room at Cape Hatteras is black the the keepers quarters are not as close to the tower. It too no longer sits in its original location.

Little Sable Point in MI?

I may be wrong on this. We visited in 2004 and have a scan also. The color of the tower is slightly different in our scan. Though the basic structure and setting is very similar.

Here is our scan:

Key West?

 

[mordux]

Aye! Key west it is

 

[handicap18]

Nice! I like what you did with that.

I'm having a 12x18 enlargement made of one of my pics of this lighthouse to go in our living room.

Little Sable Point in MI?

I think so. It was very close to Silver Lake.
