Harbor lights

This is a rework of an earlier post several years ago.

The original Edgartown Lighthouse was built in 1828, on a small man-made island in the Edgartown harbor. An Act of Congress allocated money to build it 1/4 mile from shore. Later, $5,500 was appropriated to complete the project and Seth Vincent was paid $80 for a right of way to the tower. For the first year, the only way to get to the light was by boat, but another $2,500 was allocated to build a foot bridge. The first structure was replaced in 1938 by one that was rafted to the Vineyard…

Bar Harbor, Maine, gateway to Acadia National Park and located on Mount Desert Island offers endless outdoor activities to award-winning dining and hotels.

The old Fairport Harbor, Ohio Lighthouse was built in 1871 and operated until a new lighthouse was built on the west breakwater further out on Lake Erie in 1925. The keeper's house is now a maritime museum, and is possibly haunted by a ghost cat (as seen on the Travel Channel's Haunted Lighthouses). It's worth the trip, and the climb up the stairs to the top of the tower.

My first visit to Bass Harbor Lighthouse was this sunset. Beautiful light and a beautiful location. It was a bit sketchy getting out onto the rocks for this comp but well worth it.

The deepness of this color makes it a good choice for accent walls, cabinets, or even an exterior color. Depending on the lighting and surrounding colors, the blue undertones of Gray’s Harbor can become more prominent, lending a cooler feel to the room. It pairs well with other cool tones, such as lighter grays or blues…
