Patti asks us to present three photos of a subject which bring the viewer ever closer to the details of the subject. This past week has been extremely stormy and wet here on the Long Beach, WA peninsula, so I am pulling from my archives to accomplish this challenge. In past posts I have featured the North Head Lighthouse, a lovely old one on the promontory at the approach to the Columbia River.

Volunteers have helped raised money to refurbish North Head, constructed in 1897, and located in Cape Disappointment State Park. In November 2012, the Coast Guard turned over ownership of the light station to Washington State Parks.

Tours of North Head’s interior are conducted by volunteers who provide history lessons as visitors wind up the stairwell to where the light had been, with gorgeous views in all directions.















These are wonderful images of the North Head Lighthouse. I love the details in the lens. We visited this lighthouse a few years ago but we weren’t able to climb to the top. We could see the lighthouse from the beach behind our campsite at Cape Disappointment State Park.
The lighthouse was finally open for seasonal public tours in 2015, and then closed during Covid. The $2.50 fee helps pay for ongoing restoration. The view is breathtaking!
This is a great set, Lindy. I love lighthouses.
Thank you, Egídio. Me too. Time to go exploring others I haven’t been to before!
A great subject wonderfully explored. Lighthouses are so fascinating, I loved that you took us all the way to the top!
Thank you, Tina. Seems I’ve featured that lighthouse a lot, so time to go exploring new places!
Wonderful choice and beautifully photographed!
Thank you, Leya!
