I love Lighthouses! They are beautiful structures; each one different than the next. Before heading back to Yarmouth we made a stop in Truro to see Highland Lighthouse. The view was breathtaking. I stood in awe of this majestic, peaceful tower. Originally built in 1797 George Washington established the lighthouse to protect ships from harmful storms. It then underwent several changes -upgrades and the wooded structure became brick and lantern that burned whale oil eventually changed to electrical. The current structure, built in 1857 is shown in this photo.

Amazing… If you love lighthouse then I’m sure you are the one who sticks to the principles! The lighthouse is a symbol of direction for safety, and rigidity in the face of a storm. It’s not he who has to shift when dealing with any power but vice versa.
Amazing photo …. Would be awesome to live near one

cool. I recently visited Portland Maine – the lighthouse is the most photographed in America and is stunning. I took several photos. I also took a photo of a lighthouse that was about a mile out to see – I think it must have been the original lighthouse!
