So......., I started this photo blog in September 2014. Throughout the next almost 8 years, I traveled literally driven over 120,000 miles, kayaked/ran/walked a about a hundred more miles, to twenty-two different states and to Canada to photograph these lighthouses. As I saw these lighthouses I noticed how they varied greatly in style, sometimes it depended on the location on the surrounding terrain, and other times to the needed light's focal distance. Another difference in style was simply based on the architect/designer to have it blend in with the local community; or in some cases for the ease of construction. Some of these lighthouses will reflect what we have always normally expected to see, while others will provide us a new perspective. A few of the lights are modern housings that have replaced the original typical lighthouse. Another thing I learned was the difference in purpose of these lights. Although most of these "lighthouses" operate as we have usually imagined with an alternating rotating white light, there are other lights, named appropriately as Range Lights. These lights are ones strategically placed as position lights, to help navigate in harbors or around islands or obstacles including shoals and reefs, in the middle of lakes or other waterways. These lights may be white, red, or green. These are often set up as to help the ship safely approach the shore. Sadly a lot of these lighthouses are no longer in commission, replaced by modern beacons in stark metal poles. At a later time I will come back and put a notation on the post that is about these non-commissioned ones.
