Back on line again. New Gear.. Update is this. Will start hanging Christmas lights this week, in order to get them all up in time, have about 1500 feet plus of LED lights. Last year we got a good bunch of folks that came by to see us, hoping for the same deal this year, after all its free except for there gas to come out and gas is under $3.00 today, rain, cold at 44f, and no wind. Great for hanging lights .. I Think !!. Soon as I find another photo web site I'll add some new pictures, photobucket is out for me, need one better. Say it be good to hear from some one, how bout it??. Well thats it for now, got work to do.. "Boats"..

Today is (Eternal Sea Point Memorial Lighthouse) Birthdate. On Sept 19,04 or as I call it 1904. No Anniverary party this year because there is no wind left in what we do here. We still get folks coming by and thats okay with us. We're not in lighthouse lover lane out here, If it was the East coast it would be different. So next September when we stand up the 35 foot lighthouse (Freedom Point Memorial Lighthouse ) Then we will have a party. Folks or busy with other events or the weather down south has them taking care of what ever. We are here 365 days a year. We stll add new things, some new trees, and cut the grass three times a week. Lighthouse keepers work. "Boats"..

Here are some photos of Manhattan from Thursday night. You can see one of the NYC Waterfalls under the Brooklyn Bridge, and if you really strain your eyes, the Statue of Liberty is to the left of the first column of the bridge.

I went out to the west coast to catch a cruise to Alaska, and had planned to venture out to a dozen or so Seattle-area lights. Unfortunately, the weather was miserable on my free day so I only decided to visit Mukilteo, but I was able to get out to West Point Light for sunset the night before the cruise:

Other lights photographed from a distance:

Sentinel Island Light (AK)

Entrance Island Light (British Columbia)

Trial Island (British Columbia)

If you'd like to see more non-lighthouse photos from the trip, you can view them here.
