Day 141 of 365

Made a quick trip to Twin Lights to see if I could get a U.S. Lighthouse Society Passport before we head up to New England this weekend (they didn't have any) and I took a few pictures on a gorgeous day.

Midday is never a great time to shoot at Twin Lights, because the view is to the east and so to get the front of the building, you end up facing the sun. So if you can't get there in the morning, that's when you have to get a little creative.

Twin Lights is my "hometown" lighthouse, the one I must have been to more than any other. It's got the views of the Atlantic, Sandy Hook and New York and the unique dual towers. Sandy Hook's lighthouse is nearby and another favorite, but with erosion having added at least half a mile of land between the lighthouse and the shoreline, its view is more land than shining sea.
