Only two of the three lighthouses on Nantucket are easily accessible. To reach the third, you need a special pass, which evidently is not that hard to get, but there wasn’t enough time to follow through. I have multiple views of the other two; one near ‘Sconset (upper left), and the other near the harbor in the town (bottom right.) The view through the door was taken at the Woods Hole Historical Society on the Cape which has a lovely collection of artifacts in a small museum, and this shed next door which houses a variety of boats and boating paraphernalia. The bottom left photo is of the oldest continuous working mill in the United States. We drove by it on Nantucket multiple times, but it wasn’t until the last day that I finally got a photo of it.
I’m linking up with Helena and other SNAP collectors today. I’m buried under a huge project which has turned my office/studio into a disaster area. Hopefully, I’ll be done by the weekend and back in business again
Fabulous SNAP collection Karen. Your first photo captures that sense of loneliness of what it might have been like living at a lighthouse.
Hopefully the project you are working on is featured soon! 🙂
Oh yes, in case you did not see my reply, we are just over 2 hours (on a good driving day) from Niagara on The Lake.
fascinating structures – I love to see a working windmill
Well, you’ve done it again. I couldn’t pick a favourite … but if pressed … bottom right? The windmill looks to be in great nick. Would love to tour one while it was in action. Don’t you think you’d have more fun on these trips if I came along? ;o)
Love these lightouses. Making me want to take a “road trip” to Nantucket! There’s a boat trip down the Chesapeake Bay – I think – that features lighthouses…I should go…
Cheers~
So evocative..they’d make wonderful postcards
simply Beautiful Karen!

wonderful photos…I love the view through the door
What a lovely set of lighthouses – I love the cape and miss it.
