    That lighthouse looks like the makings of a Gordon Lightfoot song. We are having an ice storm here on the Albemarle Sound. Just waiting for the power to go out.

    Here's the St. Joseph light sans ice:

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Yeah, I had forgotten all about that set of facts up there. Stuff we all learned of in grade school way back in the 20th century in the suburbs of Denver. And of course Charles' classic find of the Edmund Fitzgerald.


    Man, I gotta get a grip.

    The Yaquina Head lighthouse is a dead ringer for the Pigeon Pt. light in the SF Bay Area:



    I (barely) remember many a pot-debauched weekend evening there back in my misspent yoot.

    You know what Carl, upon further inspection that pic I put up could inadvertently BE Pigeon Point. Looking at the images it seems Pigeon Point has a red roof while Yaquina Head has a gray roof. WTF!

    Do you suppose the same architectural plans were used at both sites? How weird is that? Or maybe the internet is making a fool out of me.

    Shitty thing is I was up at Yaquina head on Christmas Day and I can't remember what color the roof is. Maybe the yl has a pic on her phone....

    Shit!

    EDIT!
    Aw $#@&, I see the differences now. Pigeon Point has that outbuilding that Yaquina Head doesn't. Like I said earlier, I gotta get my shit together. This coffee ain't cutting it.

    Could be the same plans, also could just be a matter of form following function but they sure do look a lot alike. I believe the Pigeon Point light may be taller, or perhaps it's just that the tower is a bit slimmer.
