Lighthouses
"There are no words to express the feelings that induce a sailor to offer fervent prayers when he sees this mark of sympathy expressed by his fellow men. Suddenly he sees that he is no longer alone in the midst of the ocean waves; he sees that people are caring for him with paternal solicitude."

The Lighthouse Tour hosted by the HLPS on 1-24-09 marked my first trip to the Hillsboro Light Station. Despite having photographed this light from boats and from locations across the inlet from it, this was my first time setting foot on the historic site. Still on the dock, I observed the lone gull which seemed poised for moment in greeting.
