This is a snap shot of the Ocracoke Island lighthouse . This light house is the second oldest lighthouse in the nation . It stands 77.5 feet in height , and has a screwed iron railed tower on top . It is not open for climbing or tours . Built in 1823, and is still in operation ! The beacon can be seen for 14 miles out at sea and rotates a 360 degrees . The walls are 5 feet thick .

I am a 47 year old woman who loves to travel and play tourist when ever possible . I travel several times a year. I take shots both with a digital and a 35 mm cannon with a zoom lense . I like to take shots of the unexpected , the shots of Gods hand at work in natures beauty , Human nature as the world turns , and shots of wild life in thier natural habitat.
