I took this picture today in the Florida Keys, and became fascinated with lighthouses. I've been looking up some online, but I want to see yours! If anybody has a snapshot or two of a lighthouse, post them up.

Good post, I love me some lighthouses. One of my goals is to live in one someday.

These are the two kinda near where I grew up. We'd always go on class field trips and stuff when I was little. First is the famous Boca Grande lighthouse. World famous for tarpon fishing, you can almost hop from boat to boat all the way across the channel that it's on during a tournament/busy season.

This one is also on the island but not as well recognized unless you've been there. It's not too exciting but for as long as I can remember there would always be stories about it being haunted and as a kid I ate that stuff up. This is also at the beach my parents used to take me to, and where I learned to skimboard, so just good memories all-around.

Oh, and kind of along the same veign of sweet buildings in the water, these are NUTS. They're called Maunsell Forts; they were set up by England in WWII and just kind of left there to rot I guess. They've always been interesting to me for some reason. One of them eventually became the infamous Sealand (none of the ones in the picture).

This one is in Mobile Bay. They used to have a milk cow on the little platform under it.
