St. Augustine


St. Augustine Lighthouse

We made numerous trips to St. Augustine over the years and always made a visit to the lighthouse. This is one of the best views of the light. We will return some day.

Snow at Cape Henry


Snow at Cape Henry

A number of years ago I was working at Langley AFB when a rare snow storm blew through the area. I drove down to Fort Story to catch pictures of the Cape Henry Lighthouses in the snow. The old light was built in 1792, after fears arose that is was about to fall down it was replaced in 1881 by the new cast iron tower that is still in operation today. The old tower is still standing and is open to tours.
