Nauset Light used to perch high on the cliffs of Nauset Light Beach (the beach right down the street from my son's high school) in Eastham, but since the average dune erosion is about 3.8 feet a year, at some point the lighthouse was in danger of falling off the cliff. It was moved to its present location back away from the beach in 1996 and the lightkeeper's house was moved in 1998.
Lets hope they don't have to be shifted again! We have had a road realigned because of sea erosion and now a few years later, have had that road completely closed! Most of it fell into the sea!
This sure looks different in b&w. Better not show this one to Grandma Agard though. It was always a photo she took during every vacation when she visited us on the Cape. I believe she did a water color of this lighthouse, too, way back when....
This does look similar to the Point Loma light house! I thought of you when I was shooting that one! I felt like I was walking along one of your beaches! Amazing light house and capture, Laurie!
@sandier I posted this before I learned of the June challenge and my photo yesterday was for solitude. Since the challenge only has 15 (plus one bonus) words, I might not do a challenge every single day. But they sure are helping me think outside the box.
