Currituck Beach Lighthouse

Uploaded: April 20, 2007

Description

f32.0, ISO 200, 1/500, 18 - 55 mm, 58 mm Circular Polarizer, Currituck Beack Lighthouse, Corolla, NC. This is one of the few lighthouses in NC that you are actually able to climb. My Husband & I made the trek up the 214 stairs to the top of the lighthouse on a very narrow, very winding spiral staircase. An image of the staircase from the inside is in my gallery. If you look closely in this image you can see 3 other brave souls who were still up at the top when we came back down.

Thank you Marcie & Patrick!

Patrick, it was the top of a Weeping Willow Tree. I tried my best to shoot above it but I couldn't quite get there unless I stood on my husband's shoulders LOL! #4190404
