for many years I was a docent at the Rondout II lighthouse in Kingston NY. Between tour boats I would read, write letters, or nap in one of the bedrooms. It was a great experience and years later as a reward for the volunteer work, I was allowed to have my wedding ceremony on the front porch. I climbed stairs like that many times and even figured out how to get the light to turn on in the daytime for tours of little kids.

What an amazing shot, love it!!

Old light houses are so cool, it makes me sad that new technology makes them not so needed any more.
