Lighthouses have always fascinated me----for all the obvious, Romantic reasons, and then for more personal ones (like my grandfather's having been a seafaring man)----and so when we had a chance to benefit the folks who are working to restore the St. George Reef Lighthouse, located about 7 miles off the coast near where we live, by our buying a helicopter trip out for a too-short tour of less than two hours, we jumped at the chance. Opportunities don't come often or easily: the tour is only available on weekends that the weather permits and only from November through mid-April (today's was the last for this year) to spare the endangered stellar sea lions the noise and bother of us humans.I may post a few other photos of Jon's later----he has the high-powered camera----but here are some I took today.
