Twin Lights Lighthouse

The other day I visited the Twin Lights

Lighthouse in Navesink Highlands, NJ.

The lighthouse is celebrating its 150th

anniversary this year.

 

 

The lighthouse is a beautiful structure.

 

 

The grounds are peaceful with a lovely breeze

even on warm days.

 

 

But you must make the climb to the top.

 

 

As you climb you can peek out the windows.

 

 

There are fabulous views of the ocean, you can see

all of Sandy Hook and in the distance is the New

York City Skyline.  Since it was such a lovely and

clear day we could see all the way out to the control

tower at JFK airport.

 

 

The views brought back memories of the

seafaring days of my youth when I probably

spent more time on the water than on land.

We would drop anchor off the Hook and have

swim parties, and New York Harbor was

our playgound.  Good memories...
