This is West Quaco Lighthouse, and one of the very few photos in my album that is a little photoshopped. I was into that for a while, two years ago.
Quaco is one of my two favourite lighthouses. The other being Nubble Light in Maine — the most photographed lighthouse in the world, or at least, so they say. I’ll come back to that another time.
The other day, my husband was going through old photo albums and came across a really old picture of Quaco lighthouse … it still had paint on it and looked so fine. I wish they could do something about it … the setting is absolutely fabulous but not many people seem to know about it.
Last night, I was working on another post for today, but I feel that it’s still a little premature so I’ll just let it hang around the drafts folder for a couple of days or so.
For the first time in, I don’t know how many, days, we’re seeing blue skies and sunshine! The fog we had stayed unusually long and was to thick I couldn’t see the street down below. This might be a day for some picture taking.
Here’s Quaco, in case this picture made you want to visit…
Lovely lighthouse. It would take me 1 day and 3 hours to get there…a little over 1500 direct miles north veering east! From Boston…not so far.
no, you’ll be much closer now when you get there … Go for it! π The natural scenery is breathtaking!
It could take a long while for me to visit but it looks lovely
it sure would take you some time to get here, misswhiplash π but yes, it’s a lovely spot, where one can sit and gaze out over the ocean..
there’s something special about lighthouses. Perhaps because we are often looking for light in our lives.
walk in beauty.
yes, Joss … everybody seem to like lighthouses. They are special … the light leading us home?!
Hi,
It looks like a lovely spot, I love the old lighthouses, we also have a few, but I have never had the pleasure of being able to go inside one.
Mags,
I don’t know how many lighthouses I’ve seen since we moved here, but to tell you the truth; I’ve never been inside of one! This has to change LOL
