On a beautiful October day, a boat tour of lighthouses on and off the Connecticut and Long Island shores. Here are a few samples, shot with Olympus OMD EM-10, Tamron 14-150mm lens. Several lights are now privately owned, but maintained by USCG. Plum Island, for many years the site of the US Dept. of Agriculture's R&D laboratory studying Hoof & Mouth Disease, is being abandoned by the US government. The states of NY and CT are battling to preserve the island as a wildlife sanctuary and to keep the real estate developers away.

Lets hope the group does preserve them.
I come from England and the lighthouse and the rescue boats from Eastbourne were my childhood loves.
Its really something to sit there in the evening hours as the sun goes down and the beam comes up.
Thanks for sharing
I do hope they succeed in keeping the developers away.
Well taken photographs, looks a really nice place.
Really beautiful images, mffox!
