...as always, for more Wordless Wednesday,
check these out.
Nice lighthouses. I wonder if the Cat in the Hat lives in the third one.
ReplyDeleteThat is maybe my favorite of all. it is so cute!
DeleteYou are my go to source for all things lighthouse. Your photos are lovely, as always. I want to live in the one in Sea Girt.
ReplyDeleteIt is actually quite a nice house inside. and of course right on the beach with a great view.
DeleteInteresting how so many lighthouse have red paint as a component. I find the images comforting as though the light house stands as beacon for navigation through all of life's perils.
ReplyDeleteI read once the red paint last long..why they paint barns red. So maybe that is why.
DeleteI want to see them all! One of these days (on the list for the "after the kids move out" plan) I want to do a tour up and down the East Coast.
ReplyDeleteI have done it from NJ up...someday I will do the same south. But honestly, for lighthouses, you can not beat Maine.
DeleteAnd then there is the lobster...
Love them! I would love to visit each of these places!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have a fantastic collection of lighthouses. Great captures all.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of lighthouses..
ReplyDeleteThe lighthouses seem so peaceful and statuesque! stop by and link up http://peekababyny.com/wordlesswednesday/post-1567/
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of lighthouses. So much diversity in color and architecture among them.
ReplyDeleteit's great to see different kinds of lighthouses through your lens.
ReplyDeleteI've seen the classic lighthouses before, but the ones that are part of a house or shaped like one were a novelty. Great collection!
ReplyDeleteLovely lighthouses.
ReplyDeleteMy WW.
I love lighthouses! Have you ever considered spending a vacation in one of them? I know this is possible in Croatia - and some of them are just fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThere are some in the US where you can too...it would be so cool!
DeleteI love these photos!! And your blog. I'll be back for a longer visit!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize NJ had so many lighthouses - wonderful series, Caite!
ReplyDeleteWell, since you asked...lol
DeleteNJ actually has more than 20, but some are in the bay and some in NY harbor, but 11 are on land and can be visited.
Cape May, Absecon and Bargenat are the Big Three though.
Beautiful! I love the Cape May photo for the color and the Pond Island photo for the opposite. And I love learning that there is a National Lighthouse Day!
ReplyDeleteI must say, the Pond island is a favorite. I was in a boat, on a very foggy day...
DeleteThey are really beautiful and all so different. I always enjoy your lighthouse pictures. Have to you been to any on Long Island?
ReplyDeletehere are some pics of Montauk...

Some of these lighthouses are really fancy. I have never seen ones made of brick, but I think the red & white striped one is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Thanks for including Connecticut's haunted beauty!
ReplyDeleteSo many lovely lighthouses on the east coast and so beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know there was a National Lighthouse Day. I suppose that living in the Midwest no one would mention it! We do have a lighthouse on Lake Michigan though... a small one.
Beautiful collection of lighthouses. Can I pin some of them on Pinterest?
ReplyDeletesure! although I don't really understand Pinterest...
DeleteAmazing! Have you ever taken a count of how many lighthouses you've visited?
ReplyDeleteawesome!
